Ecological Genetics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ecology is the study of the relationships between organisms and their environments, whereas ecological genetics focuses more specifically on the genetics of ecologically important traits, i.e., traits that influence ecological relationships.

Ecological genetics of invasive alien species [PDF]

open access: yesBioControl, 2011
There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked.

Genetic Ecology of Hypertension

Clinical Science, 1973
1. A comparative study has been made of a population genetically homogeneous living in two adjacent but strongly different ecosystems. 2. Individuals were ‘marked’ with common serologic major genes. 3. The predominant strength of the environmental factors was demonstrated by the observation that when maintaining the ...

The Ecology of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes

Science, 2002
Ecological and population biology issues constitute serious challenges to the application of genetically modified mosquitos (GMM) for disease control.

The Ecological Genetics of Speciation

The American Naturalist, 2002
Ecological interactions and the natural selection they cause play a prominent causal role in biological diversification and speciation. As a discipline, ecological genetics integrates the two components of adaptive evolution (natural selection and genetic variability) to study the mechanisms of evolution.

Ecological Genetics

1997
Abstract This chapter will address studies bridging ecology and genetics, that is, relating issues discussed in the previous chapter to those discussed in chapters 2, 3, and 4. Much of the work discussed in chapters 2 and 3 regarding levels of genetic variation in populations was done with little or no regard to ecological context.

The Ecology of Genetically Diverse Infections

Science, 2001
Microparasite infections often consist of genetically distinct clonal lineages. Ecological interactions between these lineages within hosts can influence disease severity, epidemiology, and evolution. Many medical and veterinary interventions have an impact on genetic diversity within infections, but there is little understanding of the long-term ...

The Ecology and Genetics of Microbial Diversity

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2004
▪ Abstract  Natural communities of microbes are often diverse, a fact that is difficult to reconcile with the action of natural selection in simple, uniform environments. We suggest that this apparent paradox may be resolved by considering the origin and fate of diversity in an explicitly ecological context. Here, we review insights into the ecological

The Ecological Genetics of Conditional Strategies

The American Naturalist, 2004
We develop a quantitative genetic model for conditional strategies that incorporates the ecological realism of previous strategic models. Similar to strategic models, the results show that environmental heterogeneity, cue reliability, and environment-dependent fitness trade-offs for the alternative tactics of the conditional strategy interact to ...
