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.

Ancient origin and maternal inheritance of blue cuckoo eggs [PDF]
, 2016 Maternal inheritance via the female-specific W chromosome was long ago proposed as a potential solution to the evolutionary enigma of co-existing host-specific races (or 'gentes') in avian brood parasites.

Genetic divergence of indigenous pummelo genotypes
Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries, 2016 The genetic divergence was studied in33pummelogenotypes using D2 statistics and principal component analysis at Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar during 2012 to 2014. The genotypes were grouped into 5 clusters and the maximum number of genotypes was included in cluster IV and V and the minimum number in cluster I.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.

Genetic Divergence in Crop Plants: Driving Forces, Analytical Methods, and Breeding Implications
NG Agricultural SciencesGenetic divergence, defined as the accumulation of genetic differences between populations, holds fundamental importance in plant breeding and is crucial for the development of new and improved crop varieties. The factors that promote genetic divergence

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

The genetic architecture underlying the evolution of a rare piscivorous life history form in brown trout after secondary contact and strong introgression [PDF]
, 2018 Identifying the genetic basis underlying phenotypic divergence and reproductive isolation is a longstanding problem in evolutionary biology. Genetic signals of adaptation and reproductive isolation are often confounded by a wide range of factors, such as

Genetic divergence of tomato ringspot virus
Archives of Virology, 2016 Tomato ringspot virus (ToRSV) has been detected in Chile, causing economically important diseases in a wide range of hosts. A ToRSV isolate was obtained from raspberry cv Heritage (Rasp-CL) showing leaf yellowing and stunting. The complete genome of Rasp-CL was sequenced by deep sequencing.

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 ...
