Directional genetic differentiation and asymmetric migration [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution 6(11), pages 3461-3475, 2016, 2016 Understanding the population structure and patterns of gene flow within species is of fundamental importance to the study of evolution. In the fields of population and evolutionary genetics, measures of genetic differentiation are commonly used to gather

The Effect of Gene Flow on Coalescent‐based Species‐Tree Inference [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 .— Most current methods for inferring species‐level phylogenies under the coalescent model assume that no gene flow occurs following speciation. Several studies have examined the impact of gene flow (e.g., Eckert and Carstens 2008; Chung and Ané 2011 ...

Gene flow in Plantago I. Gene flow and neighbourhood size in P. lanceolata [PDF]
Heredity, 1986 The genetic population structure and gene flow in the obligatory outbreeding plant species Plantago lanceolata L. were determined in the Westduinen (Wd) pasture population in the South-West of the Netherlands. Three experiments were performed: the measurement of genetic structure using allozyme variation, pollen flow in a wind-tunnel and the ...

Population genetics models of local ancestry [PDF]
, 2012 Migrations have played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity of human populations. Understanding genomic data thus requires careful modeling of historical gene flow.

Species Delimitation with Gene Flow [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2016 Species are commonly thought to be evolutionarily independent in a way that populations within a species are not. In recent years, studies that seek to identify evolutionarily independent lineages (i.e., to delimit species) using genetic data have typically adopted multispecies coalescent approaches that assume that evolutionary independence is formed ...

When gene flow really matters: gene flow in applied evolutionary biology [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2016 In the last half century, gene flow has moved from relative obscurity to a well‐recognized component of evolution. Gene flow, the successful transfer of alleles from one population to another, is now known to vary considerably among species, populations, and individuals as well as over time. It frequently occurs at rates sufficient to play an important

Quantifying the Extent of Lateral Gene Transfer Required to Avert a `Genome of Eden' [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 The complex pattern of presence and absence of many genes across different species provides tantalising clues as to how genes evolved through the processes of gene genesis, gene loss and lateral gene transfer (LGT).

Targeted gene flow for conservation [PDF]
Conservation Biology, 2015 AbstractAnthropogenic threats often impose strong selection on affected populations, causing rapid evolutionary responses. Unfortunately, these adaptive responses are rarely harnessed for conservation. We suggest that conservation managers pay close attention to adaptive processes and geographic variation, with an eye to using them for conservation ...

Restricted dispersal in a sea of gene flow [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021 How far do marine larvae disperse in the ocean? Decades of population genetic studies have revealed generally low levels of genetic structure at large spatial scales (hundreds of kilometres). Yet this result, typically based on discrete sampling designs, does not necessarily imply extensive dispersal. Here, we adopt a continuous sampling strategy along
