Population genetics of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in captive giant pandas of China
Parasites & Vectors, 2017 Background Most studies on Enterocytozoon bieneusi are conducted based on the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the rRNA gene, whereas some have examined E. bieneusi population structures.

The clarifying role of time series data in the population genetics of HIV.
PLoS Genetics, 2021 HIV can evolve remarkably quickly in response to antiretroviral therapies and the immune system. This evolution stymies treatment effectiveness and prevents the development of an HIV vaccine.

Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2016 Genetic diversity grows with the population size in most neutral evolution models. Empirical evidence of large populations with limited diversity has been proposed to be due either to genetic bottlenecks or to selection. An alternative explanation is that the limited diversity is a result of rare reproduction events.

Hitchhiking to speciation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 The modern evolutionary synthesis codified the idea that species exist as distinct entities because intrinsic reproductive barriers prevent them from merging together. Understanding the origin of species therefore requires understanding the evolution and

Genotype by random environmental interactions gives an advantage to non-favored minor alleles
Scientific Reports, 2017 Fixation probability, the probability that the frequency of a newly arising mutation in a population will eventually reach unity, is a fundamental quantity in evolutionary genetics.

Simulating population genetics of pathogen vectors in changing landscapes: guidelines and application with Triatoma brasiliensis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND:Understanding the mechanisms that influence the population dynamics and spatial genetic structure of the vectors of pathogens infecting humans is a central issue in tropical epidemiology.

Hybrid fitness effects modify fixation probabilities of introgressed alleles
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Hybridization is a common occurrence in natural populations, and introgression is a major source of genetic variation. Despite the evolutionary importance of adaptive introgression, classical population genetics theory does not take into account hybrid ...

PLOS ONE, 2019 The ecological theory of island biogeography suggests that mainland populations should be more genetically divergent from those on large and distant islands rather than from those on small and close islets. Some island populations do not evolve in a linear way, but the process of divergence occurs more rapidly because they undergo a series of ...
