Heterozygote excess in small populations and the heterozygote-excess effective population size.

TL;DR: Applications to simulated data suggest the estimation of the number of breeders to be robust to mutation and migration rates, and to specificities of the mating system, to be applicable to many natural populations.

A population genomic analysis of species boundaries: neutral processes, adaptive divergence and introgression between two hybridizing plant species.

TL;DR: It is concluded that differentiation between S. latifolia and S. dioica has been shaped by a combination of introgression and selection, and this results challenge the view that species differentiation is a genome‐wide phenomenon, and instead support the idea that genomes can be porous and thatspecies differentiation has a genic basis.

Genetic population structure and dispersal patterns in Formica ants : a review

TL;DR: The genetic data on old-world boreal species of the genus Formica is reviewed and it is predicted that sex-biased dispersal may be a common trait in Formica species, although data on more species are needed to confirm this.
Book ChapterDOI

Ancestry, Language and Culture

TL;DR: The authors argue that when populations split apart and diverge over the long span of history their cultural traits also diverge, and that these traits introduce barriers to interactions and communication between societies, in proportion to how far they have drifted from each other.

Experimental Evidence for Beneficial Fitness Effects of Gene Flow in Recently Isolated Populations

TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided of the beneficial fitness effects of a small number of migrants for recently fragmented populations of the mustard Brassica campestris.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship

TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

The material basis of evolution.

TL;DR: Goldschmidt as discussed by the authors argued that macroevolution resulted from larger jumps in genotype across "bridgeless gaps" related either to systemic mutations or to mutations affecting early development.
