Strong reciprocity or strong ferocity? A population genetic view of the evolution of altruistic punishment.

TL;DR: The results indicate that when recombination can occur between helping and punishment and is stronger than selection, punishment is likely to invade a population of defectors only when it gives a direct fitness benefit to the actor.
Journal ArticleDOI

A two–stage model for Cepaea polymorphism

TL;DR: A simple simulation shows that migration coupled with selection which fluctuates but is not centripetal, may retain polymorphism for sufficiently long to account for the patterns the authors see today.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent evolution and divergence among populations of a rare mexican endemic, chihuahua spruce, following holocene climatic warming

TL;DR: The data suggest that populations of Chihuahua spruce have differentiated by drift and that they are effectively isolated, and the high fixation index and a high proportion of empty seeds suggest that inbreeding may be a serious problem for conservation of Chilton spruce.

Genetic variation in annual phlox: self-compatible versus self-incompatible species.

TL;DR: The present study was undertaken to shed additional light on genetic correlates of self-incompatibility and self-compatibility in congeneric annual species in Lupinus.

Genetic Structure and Gene Flow in Elymus glaucus (blue wildrye): Implications for Native Grassland Restoration

TL;DR: Investigating the genetic structure within and among populations of Elymus glaucus in order to make some preliminary recommendations for the transfer and use of this species in revegetation and restoration projects found limited gene flow in E. glaucus can facilitate the divergence of populations over relatively small spatial scales.

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.
