Drift variances of FSTand GST statistics obtained from a finite number of isolated populations

TL;DR: Computer simulation has shown that even under pure random genetic drift, Lewontin and Krakauer's test of selective neutrality of polymorphic genes in terms of FST is not always valid, and it is shown that Jacquard's approximate formula for k generally gives an overestimate.

Review Lecture: Disruptive Selection

TL;DR: Disruptive selection has been shown to be capable of increasing phenotypic and genetic variance, of producing and maintaining polymorphisms, of causing divergence of sub-populations between which substantial gene exchange occurs, and of splitting a population into two which are genetically isolated from one another.

Genetic diversity of walking catfish, Clarias macrocephalus, in Thailand and evidence of genetic introgression from introduced farmed C. gariepinus

TL;DR: Evidence of genetic introgression which has probably persisted for several generations, since there was no significant genotype disequilibrium between the macrocephalus and gariepinus alleles at three diagnostic loci.

Bridging the gap: a genetic assessment framework for population‐level threatened plant conservation prioritization and decision‐making

TL;DR: A plain-language genetic assessment approach for population-level conservation prioritization based on measurement of key genetic parameters to improve understanding between conservation researchers and practitioners, enabling practitioners to incorporate genetic information into conservation actions and conservation genetic researchers to address research explicitly resulting in conservation action.

Deep genetic subdivision within a continuously distributed and highly vagile marine mammal, the Steller's sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus)

TL;DR: The Steller's sea lion Eumetopias jubatus is an endangered marine mammal that has experienced dramatic population declines over much of its range during the past five decades.

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.
