The stepping stone model: New formulas expose old myths

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the hitting time of random walks on the two-dimensional torus and derived some simple approximation formulas for the homozygosity in the stepping-stone model as a function of the separation of the colonies and for Wright's genetic distance.

Genetic structure among closely spaced leks in a peripheral population of lesser prairie-chickens

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the genetic structure of birds from four closely spaced leks in a peripheral population of lesser prairie-chickens (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus).
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial DNA phylogeography reveals the existence of an Evolutionarily Significant Unit of the sand goby Pomatoschistus minutus in the Adriatic (Eastern Mediterranean).

TL;DR: The mtDNA control region and parts of the flanking tRNA genes of 63 fish from six localities in the Adriatic, Western Mediterranean, Atlantic, and North Sea are used to investigate the phylogeography of this gobiid.

Genetic structure of brown trout, salmo trutta l., at the southern limit of the distribution range of the anadromous form

TL;DR: The significant correlation observed between geographical and genetic distances, including all population pairs, which suggests a component of isolation by distance in brown trout genetic structure, and the nonsignificant intrabasin correlation demonstrates the complexity of genetic relationships among populations in this species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial autocorrelation of genotypes in populations of Impatiens pallida and Impatiens capensis

TL;DR: The sizes of patches where morph frequencies occurred in excess of random expectations were found to be consistent among populations and polymorphisms within the species, lending support to the interpretation that substructuring of genetic variation in these populations is due to restricted gene dispersal.

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.
