Colonization history and population genetic structure of Eichhornia paniculata in Jamaica

TL;DR: A study of variation at 27 isozyme loci in 12 Jamaican populations of E. paniculata was undertaken to examine the history and genetic consequences of island colonization, consistent with a hypothesis of multiple colonization.

Cytogenetics of Holokinetic Chromosomes and Inverted Meiosis: Keys to the Evolutionary Success of Mites, with Generalizations on Eukaryotes

TL;DR: The evolution of sexual reproduction has seen a recent and major resurgence as a topic of interest and theorists have learned that the many strange genetic systems and breeding biologies of plants, animals and protists blur the distinction between “sexual” and “asexual”.

Inference in Forensic Identification

TL;DR: The problem of quantifying the weight of evidence in forensic identification is addressed and the effects of several features which may be important in practical situations, such as possible alibis, heterogeneous populations of potential suspects and informative protocols for finding suspects are assessed.

Transposable Elements Reveal the Impact of Introgression, Rather than Transposition, in Pisum Diversity, Evolution, and Domestication

TL;DR: The genetic structure and evolutionary history of the genus Pisum were studied exploiting the authors' germplasm collection to compare the contribution of different mechanisms to the generation of diversity and showed that Pisum is exceptionally polymorphic for an inbreeding species.

Species-specific responses to landscape fragmentation: implications for management strategies

TL;DR: It is concluded that restoration programmes will need to consider both this societal context and the biological characteristics of the species sharing this ecosystem, as well as the relative role of dispersal ability and effective population size on the responses to fragmentation.

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.
