Likelihood-based inference for genetic correlation coefficients.

TL;DR: A general framework in which the coefficients are defined, their properties established, and likelihood-based inference implemented is proposed, and this framework can be used to detect environment-related diversifying selection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variation in subdivided populations and conservation genetics.

TL;DR: It is shown that the equilibrium values of gene diversities (HS and HT) and the coefficient of genetic differentiation (GST) depend on the pattern of population subdivision as well as on migration and that the GST value is always smaller than that for the infinite island model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Population Structure of Fishes: Implications for Coastal Zone Management

TL;DR: It is concluded that sufficient genetic information is lacking for most of the species exploited in the Swedish part of the Baltic Sea, a serious problem, particularly considering that populations of several commercially exploited fishes are declining and some exhibit recruitment problems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diversity and selection in sorghum: simultaneous analyses using simple sequence repeats

TL;DR: The aim was to quantify and characterize diversity in a panel of cultivated and wild sorghums, establish genetic relationships, and, simultaneously, identify selection signals that might be associated with sorghum domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extreme sex-biased dispersal in the communally breeding, nonmigratory Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii).

TL;DR: It is concluded that inbreeding avoidance is likely to be the crucial factor driving male dispersal in this species, and the genetic structure of both nuclear and mitochondrial microsatellites was compared to quantify sex‐specific dispersal rates.

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.
