Multilocus patterns of nucleotide diversity, linkage disequilibrium and demographic history of Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst)

TL;DR: DNA polymorphism at 22 loci was studied in an average of 47 Norway spruce haplotypes sampled in seven populations representative of the natural range, and data are compatible with a severe bottleneck occurring some hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neutral theory of quantitative genetic variance in an island model with local extinction and colonization.

TL;DR: The results indicate the importance of mutation and migration in maintaining quantitative genetic variance within small local populations, and contrast with Wright's classical conclusion that at least one immigrant per island every other generation is necessary.

Can Population Genetic Structure Be Predicted from Life‐History Traits?

TL;DR: The fact that predicting the fate of species across a broad taxonomic assemblage on the basis of simple traits is rarely possible is illustrated, a testimony of the highly contingent nature of evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation, variance and optimal sampling of gene diversity II. Diploid locus.

TL;DR: There is a unique sample size per population which yields the best accuracy in estimating FST and FIS, respectively, at a given locus, compared to those obtained under the Hardy-Weinberg assumption.

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.
