Craniometric Variation Among Modern Human Populations

TL;DR: The results show that genetic and craniometric data are in agreement, qualitatively and quantitatively, and that there is limited variation in modern humans among major geographic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive vs. neutral genetic diversity: implications for landscape genetics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce two principal types of genetic diversity: adaptive and neutral, and critically point to their potential uses and misuses in population or landscape genetic studies, while the evolutionary or adaptive potential of populations or species has to be assessed in quantitative genetic experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Beyond FST: Analysis of population genetic data for conservation

TL;DR: A guide to recently developed methods for population genetic analysis, including identification of population structure, quantification of gene flow, and inference of demographic history, with a special focus on methods relevant to conservation genetic applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying Bufo boreas connectivity in Yellowstone National Park with landscape genetics

TL;DR: It is found that habitat permeability generally operates on fine scales, while topographic morphology and temperature-moisture regime operate across multiple scales, thus demonstrating the importance of cross-scale analysis for ecological interpretation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary inference from QST

TL;DR: The sources of biases and sampling error for QST are reviewed, and a new method for comparing QST and FST is suggested, which suggests that the distribution of neutral FST and QST values are little affected by various deviations from the island model.

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.
