In-stream and overland dispersal across a river network influences gene flow in a freshwater insect, Calopteryx splendens.

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis of overland dispersal between watercourses and attention should be paid to the actual pathways of gene flow across complex landscapes such as river networks.

The spatial distribution of chloroplast DNA and allozyme polymorphisms within A population of Silene alba (Caryophyllaceae)

TL;DR: Genetic structure within a population of Silene alba was studied using a chloroplast DNA and six allozyme polymorphisms, suggesting that in this population gene flow in the maternally inherited cpDNA is limited by restricted seed dispersal, whereas geneflow in the nuclear DNA based allozymes is more pervasive owing to the added effects of pollen dispersal.

The speciation history of Drosophila pseudoobscura and close relatives: inferences from DNA sequence variation at the period locus.

TL;DR: Combined analysis of per with two other loci, strongly suggest this reduction in diversity in D. bogotana is due to recent directional selection at or near per within D. pseudoobscura, which can not be explained by a small effective population size or by speciation via founder event.

Genetic diversity and effective population size in mass selection lines of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

TL;DR: If mass selection continues with the current collections, it is suggested augmenting broodstock numbers and undertaking several ‘mini’ spawnings between equal numbers of males and females to increase the effective population sizes of the mass selected oysters.

Biology of ecologically marginal populations of anthoxanthum odoratum. i. phenetics and dynamics.

TL;DR: Justification for the evolutionary study of marginal populations can be provided from at least five points of view: (1) peripheral populations are postulated to play a central role in speciation phenomena but in very different ways; (2) they are attributed a major role in 'bursts' of adaptive radiation; and (3) comparison with central populations yields information on selection processes.

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.
