Genetic signature of population fragmentation varies with mobility in seven bird species of a fragmented Kenyan cloud forest.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare levels of past population differentiation with contemporary dispersal rates, estimated from multi-strata capture-recapture models, to infer changes in mobility over time in seven sympatric, forestdependent bird species of a Kenyan cloud forest archipelago.

Random drift and the shifting balance theory of evolution.

Sewall Wright
TL;DR: The word “drift” has been used rather frequently in population genetics, but not always in the same sense, and thus is in need of careful definition.

Genetic structure and environmental heterogeneity in the European hake (Merluccius merluccius).

TL;DR: The genetic pattern showed a strong correlation with the values of the salinity both at the surface and at −320 m and of thesalinity + temperature at thesurface, suggesting a role for these parameters in maintaining the genetic differentiation among the two population groups through selective processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

The behavioural ecology of the island fox (Urocyon littoralis)

TL;DR: It is suggested that the primary effect of finite island area is to limit dispersal, which then influences the demography, behaviour and genetic structure of island fox populations.

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.
