Effectiveness of managed gene flow in reducing genetic divergence associated with captive breeding
Evolutionary Applications, 2015 Captive breeding has the potential to rebuild depressed populations. However, associated genetic changes may decrease restoration success and negatively affect the adaptive potential of the entire population.

pixy: Unbiased estimation of nucleotide diversity and divergence in the presence of missing data
bioRxiv, 2020 Population genetic analyses often use summary statistics to describe patterns of genetic variation and provide insight into evolutionary processes. Among the most fundamental of these summary statistics are π and dXY, which are used to describe genetic ...

Isolation, marine transgression and translocation of the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus)
Evolutionary Applications, 2019 Island populations can represent genetically distinct and evolutionarily important lineages relative to mainland conspecifics. However, phenotypic divergence of island populations does not necessarily reflect genetic divergence, particularly for lineages

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

Rapid genetic divergence in response to 15 years of simulated climate change
Global Change Biology, 2015 Genetic diversity may play an important role in allowing individual species to resist climate change, by permitting evolutionary responses. Our understanding of the potential for such responses to climate change remains limited, and very few experimental

Common garden experiment reveals genetic control of phenotypic divergence between swamp sparrow subspecies that lack divergence in neutral genotypes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Adaptive divergence between populations in the face of strong selection on key traits can lead to morphological divergence between populations without concomitant divergence in neutral DNA.

Genetic divergence in mung bean [PDF]
LEGUME RESEARCH - AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL, 2017 The present study was undertaken to provide information on the nature and magnitude of genetic diversity among 30 mung bean genotypes for yield traits by using Mahalanobis’s D2 statistics. Thirty genotypes could be grouped in 6 clusters, cluster VI showed maximum intra-cluster distance while the highest inter-cluster distance was observed between ...

Heterotic hybrid frequency in relation to combining ability and parental genetic divergence in maize
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018 Being a highly cross pollinated crop, heterotic hybrid development is the immediate cultivar option in maize. The F1’s developed from the heterotic pools not only serve as hybrid cultivar but also helps in isolation of good inbred lines.
