Mitochondrial gene genealogy and gene flow among island and mainland populations of a sedentary songbird, the grey-crowned babbler (pomatostomus temporalis).

TL;DR: Both the phylogenies and patterns of allelic divergence suggest that the population on Melville Island exchanges migrants with both continental populations, although statistical tests indicated that some alternative phylogenies implying restricted gene flow among the populations could not be discounted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detecting ancient positive selection in humans using extended lineage sorting.

TL;DR: A method for detecting ancient selective sweeps by scanning for extended genomic regions where the authors' closest extinct relatives, Neandertals and Denisovans, fall outside of the present-day human variation and presents a list of genomic regions that are predicted to underlie positively selected human specific traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogeography of Crassostrea angulata, the Portuguese oyster endangered in Europe

TL;DR: The analysis of genetic distances and the distribution of allelic and haplotype frequencies revealed significant genetic differences between taxa, showing two clusters: C. gigas French and Japanese populations and C. angulata Portuguese and Taiwanese populations, confirming the Asian origin of the CrassostreaAngulata taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-generation analysis of pollen flow across a landscape. III. Impact of adult population structure.

TL;DR: Analytical theory for the relation between phi ft and delta is developed for the case where the probability of Identity by Descent for two individuals decreases with the physical distance between them, to provide an effective method for estimating pollen dispersal distance in a population with adult genetic structure.

Increased genetic differentiation in a specialist versus a generalist bee: implications for conservation

TL;DR: Data is presented on the population structure of two closely related bee species sampled from a super abundant floral host in the southern Atacama Desert to support the hypothesis of decreased gene flow among populations of the specialist bee even at equivalent geographic distances.

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.
