The distribution of phenotypic variance with inbreeding

TL;DR: The changes in phenotypic variance as a result of population bottlenecks are large enough to significantly affect the probability of peak shifts by the variance‐induced peak shift model.

An Integrated Software Package for Population Genetics Data Analysis

TL;DR: A completely new graphical interface written in C++, a more robust semantic analysis of input files, and two new methods: a Bayesian estimation of gametic phase from multi-locus genotypes, and an estimation of the parameters of an instantaneous spatial expansion from DNA sequence polymorphism are introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI

A test of the background selection hypothesis based on nucleotide data from Drosophila ananassae.

TL;DR: A coalescent-based simulation of the background selection model showed that the observed homogeneity among the northern populations is inconsistent with the Background selection hypothesis, and may have been caused by a recent hitchhiking event that was limited to the northern species range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two-generation analysis of pollen flow across a landscape. IV. Estimating the dispersal parameter.

TL;DR: Novel estimators are developed, on the basis of the divergence of pollen clouds for all pairs of females, assuming that an independent estimate of adult population density is available, that provide estimates that are slightly better than the best global estimate.

Esterase Enzyme Function and Genetical Structure of Populations of the Freshwater Fish, Notropis stramineus

TL;DR: The observed pattern of functional diversity allows a prediction of intergeneration selection or intrageneration differential mortality, where heterozygotes are at an advantage at higher environmental temperatures and homozygotes at lower environmental temperatures, as well as a significant amount of differential genetic mortality occurring within 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.
