Journal ArticleDOI
Nomenclature for centromeric position on chromosomes
TL;DR: At the present time, with the immense increase in research activity in mammalian cytology, the terminology of the centromeric position has become burdened by much obscurity and confusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inbreeding depression and its evolutionary consequences
TL;DR: The evidence that the evolution of breeding systems of animals and plants has been significantly influenced by the occurrence of inbreeding depression is reviewed, and the contemporary genetic theory of inmarriage depression and heterosis and the experimental data concerning the strength of in breeding depression are considered.
Book ChapterDOI
Evolutionary Significance of Phenotypic Plasticity in Plants
TL;DR: This chapter focuses on evolutionary significance of phenotypic plasticity in plants, indicating that adaptation by plasticity is a widespread and important phenomenon in plants and has evolved differently in different species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryptic species as a window on diversity and conservation

TL;DR: The literature on cryptic and sibling species is synthesized and trends in their discovery are discussed, suggesting that the discovery of cryptic species is likely to be non-random with regard to taxon and biome and could have profound implications for evolutionary theory, biogeography and conservation planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Hybrid Zones
TL;DR: Hybrid zones are narrow regions in which genetically distinct populations meet, mate, and produce hybrids, and models of parapatric speciation, and of Wright's "shifting balance," involve the formation, move ment, and modification of hybrid zones.
