Inbreeding coefficients and coalescence times

TL;DR: The effective migration rate between pairs of local populations, M, which is the migration rate that would be estimated for those two populations if they were actually in an island model, provides a simple and useful measure of genetic similarity that can be defined for either allozyme or DNA sequence data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene Flow in Plant Pathosystems

TL;DR: The role of the temporal and spatial movement of genes and genotypes on the population dynamics and evolution of plant pathogenic fungi is considered.
Journal ArticleDOI

The analysis of population survey data on DNA sequence variation.

TL;DR: Application of the technique to existing studies on mitochondrial DNA in several animal species and on several nuclear genes in Drosophila indicates that the standard errors of genetic diversity estimates are usually quite large, so comparative studies of nucleotide diversity need to be substantially larger than the current standards.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Population Genetics of Clonal and Partially Clonal Diploids

TL;DR: The consequences of variable rates of clonal reproduction on the population genetics of neutral markers are explored in diploid organisms within a subdivided population (island model) using both analytical and stochastic simulation approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic estimates of population structure and gene flow: Limitations, lessons and new directions.

TL;DR: Direct assessment of movement remains the most valid approach to many key issues in population biology, and studies of paternity, kinship and phylogeography generate the most reliable results.

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.
