Aspects of the population genetics of Mytilus (Mytilidae; Mollusca) in the British Isles

TL;DR: Overall little evidence was found that balancing selection is responsible for maintenance of the polymorphisms studied in M. edulis, and the pattern of geographic variation in gene frequencies in Mytilus in the British Isles is discussed in relation to variation in the south and north of Europe and North America.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of several measures of genetic distance and population structure with microsatellite data: bias and sampling variance

TL;DR: Using data from a large collection of larval cod (Gadus morhua) from a single area, the effect of sample size on seven genetic distance and two structure metrics is examined and ( delta µ)2, DSW, RST, and FST were the best performers in terms of bias and variance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptive reptile color variation and the evolution of the mc1r gene

TL;DR: Comparative data on a nuclear gene in reptiles is provided and the utility of a candidate‐gene approach for understanding the evolution of genes involved in vertebrate adaptation is highlighted.
Book ChapterDOI

Population Biology of Parasitic Nematodes: Applications of Genetic Markers

TL;DR: The chapter describes levels of heterozygosity revealed by allozymes and patterns of variation in a variety of different sequence types that are distributed in parasite populations, and the ways these patterns can be used to ask questions about the various aspects of nematode biology and epidemiology.

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.
Book

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.
