BIOSYS-1: a FORTRAN program for the comprehensive analysis of electrophoretic data in population genetics and systematics

TL;DR: The use of dry samples of museum collections in microsatellite analyses enabled us to study changes in allele frequencies over time in a small, isolated population, and the results supported the earlier finding with allozymes that the small populations have been subject to strong genetic drift.

TL;DR: It is indicated that genetic factors may exhibit stronger effects on survivorship than other factors (e.g., weight/body condition) commonly associated with fitness.

Using Molecular Genetics to Learn About the Ecology of Threatened Species: The Allure and The Illusion of Measuring Genetic Structure In Natural Populations

Eleanor K. Steinberg, +1 more

TL;DR: Recent technological advances in molecular population genetics have greatly reduced the cost and simultaneously increased the ease of field genetic studies, allowing amplification of DNA from tiny skin biopsies, individual hairs, or even scat.

TL;DR: No measurable effect of Bs on overall genetic variability was thus revealed in studied populations, and both the parasitic and the heterotic models can be applied to explain the maintenance ofBs in different populations.
