Moth Pheromone Genetics and Evolution

TL;DR: It is argued that there is no reason to dismiss species recognition as a possible cause of evolutionary change in moth sex pheromones and Mendelian genes controlling differences in mate choice and in the production of mate recognition signals have been found.

Analysis of population genetic structure by DNA fingerprinting

TL;DR: Approaches to estimating individual and population homozygosity, effective population size, population subdivision, and relatedness are reviewed, and issues concerning the biases and sampling properties of the statistics are discussed.
Book

Plant Genetic Conservation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a practical and theoretical introduction to the strategies and actions to adopt for conserving plant genetic variation, as well as explaining how humans can exploit this diversity for sustainable development.

The relationship between F(ST) and the frequency of the most frequent allele

TL;DR: The relationship between FST and the frequency of the most frequent allele is examined, demonstrating that the range of values that FST can take is restricted considerably by the allele-frequency distribution and providing a conceptual basis for understanding the dependence of FST on allele frequencies and genetic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Impact of Sampling Schemes on the Site Frequency Spectrum in Nonequilibrium Subdivided Populations

TL;DR: Strong effects of the sampling scheme on Tajima's D and Fu and Li's D statistics are demonstrated, particularly under specieswide (range) expansions, which suggests that validating the assumption of panmixia is crucial if robust demographic inferences are to be made from local or pooled samples.

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.
