Parasite speciation within or between host species?--phylogenetic evidence from site-specific polystome monogeneans.

TL;DR: Results show unequivocally that congeneric species infecting the same site, even of host species belonging to different suborders and occurring on different continents, are more closely related than congenericspecies infecting different sites of the same host species.

Spatial-temporal population dynamics across species range: from centre to margin

TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulated spatial-temporal patterns of birth and death rates and migration across a species' range in different seasons, showing that the multiple equilibria of metapopulations across species' ranges could be easily broken following climatic changes or physical disturbances either local or regional.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theories of kin and group selection: a population genetics perspective.

TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to review the major hypotheses which have been advanced for the evolution of altruism under kin selection and group selection, and to attempt to relate the various verbal and mathematical argumentsWhich have been applied to the problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic studies on male sterility of hybrids between laboratory and wild mice (Mus musculus L.).

TL;DR: Results of genetic analysis and failure to detect any chromosomal rearrangements point to a genie rather than a chromosomal type of hybrid sterility, which seems to be under the control of several independently segregating genes.

The Emergence of Emerging Technologies

TL;DR: The biological notion of speciation events, which form the basis for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, can reconcile the process of incremental technical change with the radical change associated with the shift of an existing technology to a new application domain and assist managers to cope with, and potentially exploit, such change processes.
