Population genetic structure in a self‐compatible hermaphroditic snail is driven by drift independently of its contemporary mating system [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionGenetic drift, gene flow, and natural selection commonly influence population genetic diversity. In populations of self‐compatible hermaphrodites, the mating system (e.g., self‐fertilization) further reduces individual heterozygosity.

Is genetic drift a force? [PDF]
Synthese, 2016 One hotly debated philosophical question in the analysis of evolutionary theory concerns whether or not evolution and the various factors which constitute it (selection, drift, mutation, and so on) may profitably be considered as analogous to “forces” in the traditional, Newtonian sense.

Journal of Cell Science, 2009 This article is a short account of the theory of the genetic drift and some of its important consequences. In order to explain this theory simple simulation in Microsoft Excel is applied to show what one can expect in a large population divided into many

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The presence of shell bands is common in gastropods. Both the marine snails Littorina fabalis and Lttorina saxatilis are polymorphic for this trait. Such polymorphism would be expected to be lost by the action of genetic drift or directional selection ...

Management of Genetic Diversity in the Era of Genomics
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Management of genetic diversity aims to (i) maintain heterozygosity, which ameliorates inbreeding depression and loss of genetic variation at loci that may become of importance in the future; and (ii) avoid genetic drift, which prevents deleterious ...

Mining frequent itemsets from streaming transaction data using genetic algorithms
Journal of Big Data, 2020 This paper presents a study of mining frequent itemsets from streaming data in the presence of concept drift. Streaming data, being volatile in nature, is particularly challenging to mine.

Evolutionary Applications, 2021 Utah prairie dogs (Cynomys parvidens) are federally threatened due to eradication campaigns, habitat destruction, and outbreaks of plague. Today, Utah prairie dogs exist in small, isolated populations, making them less demographically stable and more ...

Mapping genes through the use of linkage disequilibrium generated by genetic drift: 'Drift mapping' in small populations with no demographic expansion [PDF]
, 1998 Linkage disequilibrium has been a powerful tool in identifying rare disease alleles in human populations. To date, most research has been directed to isolated populations which have undergone a bottleneck followed by rapid exponential expansion.

Genetic and morphometric divergence of an invasive bird: the introduced house sparrow (Passer domesticus) in Brazil. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Introduced species are interesting systems for the study of contemporary evolution in new environments because of their spatial and temporal scales. For this study we had three aims: (i) to determine how genetic diversity and genetic differentiation of ...

Assessment of genetic drift and migration in six cattle breeds [PDF]
Acta Fytotechnica et Zootechnica, 2020 Slovak Spotted cattle represents an endangered breed with cultural importance in Slovakia. The study was based on the panel of 34,604 SNPs that were used for genotyping of 451 individuals.
