A strong genetic footprint of the re-introduction history of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex ibex).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effects of serial bottlenecks on genetic variation and differentiation among 42 Alpine ibex populations in Switzerland with known re-introduction histories.
Journal ArticleDOI

Population genetics of the blue crabCallinectes sapidus: modest population structuring in a background of high gene flow

TL;DR: The results emphasize the importance of both ecological and evolutionary time scales and structuring mechanisms in determining genetic population structure.

Gene flow and fine-scale genetic structure in a wind-pollinated tree species, Quercus lobata (Fagaceaee)

TL;DR: It is concluded that adult spatial structure is indicative of strong historical signature of "isolation by distance" and provides a useful reference value against which to gauge the future gene flow consequences of ongoing anthropogenic disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hybridization, species collapse, and species reemergence after disturbance to premating mechanisms of reproductive isolation.

TL;DR: An individual‐based stochastic simulation model is used to explore the conditions under which disturbances that weaken premating barriers to reproduction patterns between sympatric species might lead to increased hybridization and to species collapse, and suggests that ecosystem managers may be able to refill ecological niches, but in general will not been able to resurrect lost species after species collapse.

Quantitative trait and allozyme divergence in the Greenfinch (Carduelis chloris, Aves: Fringillidae)

TL;DR: The counter-gradient variation in beak width, a functionally important trait, is suggestive of an adaptive basis for quantitative trait divergence, and is interpreted to reflect the re-colonization of history of northern Europe which has been paralleled by selection acting on quantitative traits (QST>FST).

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.
