Genomic signatures of drift and selection driven by predation and human pressure in an insular lizard

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Genomic divergence was studied in 10 small insular populations of the endangered Balearic Islands lizard (Podarcis lilfordi) using double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing.

Wandering behaviour prevents inter and intra oceanic speciation in a coastal pelagic fish [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Small pelagic fishes have the ability to disperse over long distances and may present complex evolutionary histories. Here, Old World Anchovies (OWA) were used as a model system to understand genetic patterns and connectivity of fish between the Atlantic

Genetics of ecological divergence during speciation [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2014
Ecological differences often evolve early in speciation as divergent natural selection drives adaptation to distinct ecological niches, leading ultimately to reproductive isolation. Although this process is a major generator of biodiversity, its genetic basis is still poorly understood.

Genetic divergence studies in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) germplasm lines [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2013
Ninety safflower genotypes representing diverse geographic regions were studied for genetic divergence using Mahalanobis D2 static. The genotypes were grouped into 12 clusters. Seed yield contributed maximum to the total divergence.

Discordance Between Mitochondrial and Nuclear Contact Zones Within Antelope Ground Squirrels (Ammospermophilus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A common biogeographic pattern found in many co-distributed species along the Baja California peninsula is the genetic divergence in the Vizcaíno Desert.

GENETIC DIVERGENCE IN DEEPWATER RICE GENOTYPES [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture, 2006
The nature and the magnitude of genetic divergence was estimated in 35 deepwater rice genotypes using Mahalonobis’s D2 – statistics. The genotypes were grouped onto 10 clusters showing fair degree of relationship between geographic distribution and ...

Genetic divergence among genetic groups of Gir crossbreds

open access: yesIndian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2019
Comparative evaluation of FG (50% HF + 50% Gir), IFG (Interse of FG), FJG (50% HF + 25% Jersey + 25% Gir), IFJG (Interse of FJG) and R (50% HF + 12.50% Jersey + 37.50% Gir) crosses of Gir was done on the basis of age at first conception (AFCon ...

Patterns of reproductive isolation in toads.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2008
Understanding the general features of speciation is an important goal in evolutionary biology, and despite significant progress, several unresolved questions remain.

Estimating genetic divergence and genetic variability with restriction endonucleases. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1981
Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific sites determined by the local nucleotide sequence. By comparing related DNA segments with respect to where such cuts are made, one can estimate the extent of sequence homology between the segments. Empirical methods are presented here for using these data to measure the proportion of mismatches between two ...

Integrating paleoecology and genetics of bird populations in two sky island archipelagos

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2008
Background Genetic tests of paleoecological hypotheses have been rare, partly because recent genetic divergence is difficult to detect and time. According to fossil plant data, continuous woodland in the southwestern USA and northern Mexico became ...
