TLDR
The results suggest that the two North American species (P. velutina and P. glandulosa) would have originated in different founder events, and the series within section Algarobia are not supported by the clusters retrieved in the phenogram based on isoenzymatic data.Abstract:
In the present work, isoenzyme electrophoresis was used to analyze the variability and phenetic relationships among seven American species of genus Prosopis belonging to three different sections: P. argentina (Monilicarpa), P. glandulosa, P. velutina, P. flexuosa, P. ruscifolia, P. kuntzei (Algarobia), and P. reptans (Strombocarpa). The genetic variability in P. argentina, P. reptans, and P. kuntzei was significantly lower than in the rest of the species analyzed. The species belonging to different sections are highly differentiated, but the relationships retrieved among species belonging to the section Algarobia suggested that the series of this section are not natural groups. P. kuntzei is as differentiated from the remaining species of Algarobia as from P. reptans or P. argentina, suggesting that this species might be included in a different section. The series within section Algarobia are not supported by the clusters retrieved in the phenogram based on isoenzymatic data. The results suggest that the two North American species (P. velutina and P. glandulosa) would have originated in different founder events.read more

Estimation of average heterozygosity and genetic distance from a small number of individuals
TL;DR: It is shown that the number of individuals to be used for estimating average heterozygosity can be very small if a large number of loci are studied and the average heter homozygosity is low.

Perspective: detecting adaptive molecular polymorphism: lessons from the MHC.
TL;DR: It is found that selection is not detectable in MHC datasets in every generation, population, or every evolutionary lineage, suggesting either that selection on the MHC is heterogeneous or that many of the current neutrality tests lack sufficient power to detect the selection consistently.
