Pattern and process in a narrow hybrid zone

TL;DR: Examination of variation in morphology and allozymes in a hybrid zone between two closely related eastern North American species of field cricket shows that patterns of variation across the zone do not conform to a simple model of monotonie clinal variation, and there is strong evidence for differential and asymmetric introgression.

Multilocus Systems in Evolution

TL;DR: Population studies of genetic variation and microevolution are classically discussed in terms of changes in gene frequencies and the maintenance of polymorphic loci that can be identified by Mendelian analyses.

Species, Subspecies, and Baboon Systematics

TL;DR: Baboon diversity is used to explore some aspects of species definition and diagnosis, without attempting a comprehensive revision of the group or an exhaustive exploration of the species concept.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the role and origin of isochrony in human rhythmic entrainment.

TL;DR: Here the capacity to "entrain" to an evenly paced stimulus (isochrony) is considered in terms of its possible origin, functional mechanisms, and ontogenetic development.

Insect Seasonal Cycles: Genetics and Evolution

TL;DR: Knowledge of the evolution of seasonal cycles provides a key to understanding how organisms exploit their environment, how they interact, and in some instances species utilizing a single resource reduce competition by the seasonal partitioning of that resource.
