Genetic evaluation of a demographic bottleneck in the greater prairie chicken

TL;DR: This is the first example of loss of genetic diversity being associated with a decrease in population fitness as a result of a known demographic bottleneck in a wild bird species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aggressiveness in Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus Aculeatus L.): a Behaviour-Genetic Study

TL;DR: This behaviour-genetic study concentrates on intra-specific aggressiveness in the three-spined stickleback, arguing that the lack of response in males to selection for territorial aggressiveness and dominance ability in upward directions is probably due to an upper selection limit for territorial aggression and dominance able, that is already present in the base population.

Introduction to population biology

TL;DR: The author states that animal behaviour, natural selection and altruistic traits, as well as interactions between Species, and the Behaviour of Individuals, are important sources of inspiration for future generations of scientists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant self-incompatibility in natural populations: a critical assessment of recent theoretical and empirical advances.

TL;DR: Recent empirical and theoretical advances in the molecular characterization of the incompatibility reaction and in the analysis of allelic frequencies and allelic divergence from natural populations have stimulated new theoretical investigations that challenged some important assumptions of Wright's model of gametophytic self‐incompatibility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Character displacement and the origins of diversity.

TL;DR: The empirical support for Darwin’s principle of divergence of character is examined, specifically that (1) competition promotes divergent trait evolution, (2) the strength of competitively mediated divergent selection increases with increasing phenotypic similarity between competitors, (3) divergence can occur within species, and (4)competitively mediated divergence can trigger speciation.

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.
