Role of Population Genetics in the Sterile Insect Technique

TL;DR: Genetic methods can be helpful in distinguishing wild insects from released sterile or substerile ones, and in ascertaining, together with mating cross-compatibility studies, the compatibility of mass-reared colonies with target wild insects.

Variable population size and evolution acceleration: a case study with a parallel evolutionary algorithm

TL;DR: This article focuses on the effect of variable population size on accelerating evolution in the context of a parallel evolutionary algorithm, and observes that the dramatic changes in population size allow evolution to accelerate.

Analysis of Morphological Data

Mike Foote
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly touch upon some of the areas in which morphological analysis has contributed significantly to our understanding of life's history, and the decision to omit certain topics, such as functional morphology, is not a reflection of the importance of these fields.

Biometrical Models in Behavioral Genetics

TL;DR: The research designs and statistical methods that are in popular use in behavioral genetics (BG) are described, to provide a general and extensible infrastructure for the modeling of genetically informative data.

Genetic evaluation for discrete polygenic traits in animal breeding.

TL;DR: Linear and non-linear models for the analysis of categorical data in animal breeding are reviewed and discussed and how Bayesian methodology is particularly well suited for estimating location and dispersion parameters in the underlying scale under mixed sources of variation is shown.
