Measuring genetic relatedness in natural populations: Methodology

TL;DR: An estimator for b, the regression coefficient of relatedness, is developed suitable for small samples, and also one for standard deviation, and its applications are discussed; it shows that, given the same set of data, b is estimated with greater reliability than is F ST.

Culture, Ethnicity and Diversity

TL;DR: The authors investigated the empirical relationship between ethnicity and culture, defined as a vector of traits reflecting norms, attitudes and preferences, and found that ethnic identity is a significant predictor of cultural values.

Genetic variability of the symbiotic dinoflagellates from the wide ranging coral species Seriatopora hystrix and Acropora longicyathus in the Indo-West Pacific

TL;DR: It is proposed that patterns of genetic connectivity correlate with differences in the dispersal range of the coral or symbiont propagules and are associated with their respective modes of symbionT transmission.

Evolutionarily Stable Infection by a Male-Killing Endosymbiont in Drosophila Innubila: Molecular Evidence from the Host and Parasite Genomes

TL;DR: Molecular data suggest that this male-killing strain of Wolbachia discovered in natural populations of D. innubila is evolutionarily old, a conclusion supported with a simple model of parasite and mtDNA transmission dynamics.

Quantifying gene flow from spatial genetic structure data in a metapopulation of chamaecrista fasciculata (leguminosae)

TL;DR: An extensive allozyme survey was conducted within a natural “meta” population of the native North American annual legume to quantify genetic structure at different spatial scales, finding little biparental inbreeding and the effect of a patchy population structure on estimation of gene flow.

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.
