Sex-linked genetic diversity originates from persistent sociocultural processes at microgeographic scales [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 Population genetics has been successful at identifying the relationships between human groups and their interconnected histories. However, the link between genetic demography inferred at large scales and the individual human behaviours that ultimately ...

The dimensions of personality in humans and other animals: A comparative and evolutionary perspective [PDF]
, 2000 This paper considers the structure and proximate mechanisms of personality in humans and other animals. Significant similarities were found between personality structures and mechanisms across species in at least two broad traits: Extraversion and ...

Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size in haploid and diploid populations [PDF]
, 2013 Understanding the effect of population size on the key parameters of evolution is particularly important for populations nearing extinction. There are evolutionary pressures to evolve sequences that are both fit and robust.

A new mapping method for quantitative trait loci of silkworm
BMC Genetics, 2011 Background Silkworm is the basis of sericultural industry and the model organism in insect genetics study. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying economically important traits of silkworm is of high significance for promoting the silkworm ...

Genetic Dominance & Cellular Processes
The American Biology Teacher, 2014 In learning genetics, many students misunderstand and misinterpret what “dominance” means. Understanding is easier if students realize that dominance is not a mechanism, but rather a consequence of underlying cellular processes. For example, metabolic pathways are often little affected by changes in enzyme concentration.

Host-specific functional significance of Caenorhabditis gut commensals
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The gut microbiota is an important contributor to host health and fitness. Given its importance, microbiota composition should not be left to chance. However, what determines this composition is far from clear, with results supporting contributions of ...
