Does habitat stability structure intraspecific genetic diversity? It’s complicated... [PDF]
, 2020 Regional phylogeographic studies have long been conducted in the southeastern United States for a variety of species. With some exceptions, many of these studies focus on single species or single clades of organisms, and those considering multiple ...

Genetic Diversity of Toscana Virus [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Distribution of Toscana virus (TOSV) is evolving with climate change, and pathogenicity may be higher in nonexposed populations outside areas of current prevalence (Mediterranean Basin). To characterize genetic diversity of TOSV, we determined the coding sequences of isolates from Spain and France.

Genetic diversity of Koala retrovirus (KoRV) env gene subtypes: Insights into northern and southern koala populations [PDF]
, 2019 Koala retrovirus (KoRV) is a recently endogenised retrovirus associated with neoplasia and immunosuppression in koala populations. The virus is known to display sequence variability and to be present at varying prevalence in different populations, with ...

New thoughts on an old riddle: what determines genetic diversity within and between species? [PDF]
Genomics, 108: 3-10 (2016), 2015 The question of what determines genetic diversity both between and within species has long remained unsolved by the modern evolutionary theory (MET). However, it has not deterred researchers from producing interpretations of genetic diversity by using MET. We here examine the two key experimental observations of genetic diversity made in the 1960s, one

Inverse relationship between genetic diversity and epigenetic complexity [PDF]
, 2008 Early studies of molecular evolution revealed a correlation between genetic distance and time of species divergence. This observation provoked the molecular clock hypothesis and in turn the ‘Neutral Theory’, which however remains an ...

Genetic drift opposes mutualism during spatial population expansion [PDF]
Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 111, 1037-1042 (2014), 2014 Mutualistic interactions benefit both partners, promoting coexistence and genetic diversity. Spatial structure can promote cooperation, but spatial expansions may also make it hard for mutualistic partners to stay together, since genetic drift at the expansion front creates regions of low genetic and species diversity. To explore the antagonism between

Genetic diversity and core subset selection in ex situ seed collections of the banana crop wild relative Musa balbisiana [PDF]
, 2019 Crop wild relatives (CWRs) play a key role in crop breeding by providing beneficial trait characteristics for improvement of related crops. CWRs are more efficiently used in breeding if the plant material is genetically characterized, but the diversity ...

The opportunities and challenges of integrating population histories into genetic studies of diverse populations: a motivating example from Native Hawaiians [PDF]
Front. Genet., 27 September 2021, 2020 There is an urgent and well-recognized need to extend genetic studies to diverse populations, but several obstacles continue to be prohibitive, including (but not limited to) the difficulty of recruiting individuals from diverse populations in large numbers and the lack of representation in available genomic references. These obstacles notwithstanding,
