Diversity, 2021 Rear-edge populations are of significant scientific interest because they can contain allelic variation not found in core-range populations. However, such populations can differ in their level of genetic diversity and divergence reflecting variation in ...

Life at the front of an expanding population [PDF]
, 2008 Recent microbial experiments suggest that enhanced genetic drift at the frontier of a two-dimensional range expansion can cause genetic sectoring patterns with fractal domain boundaries.

Shell color polymorphism in marine gastropods
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Marine gastropods are characterized by an incredible variation in shell color. In this review, we aim to introduce researchers to previous studies of shell color polymorphism in this group of animals, trying to provide an overview of the topic and ...

Maize Germplasm Conservation in Southern California's Urban Gardens: Introduced Diversity Beyond ex situ and in situ Management. [PDF]
, 2016 Contemporary germplasm conservation studies largely focus on ex situ and in situ management of diversity within centers of genetic diversity. Transnational migrants who transport and introduce landraces to new locations may catalyze a third type of ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Acoustic phenotypic variation is of major importance for speciation and the evolution of species diversity. Whereas selective and stochastic forces shaping the acoustic divergence of signaling systems are well studied in insects, frogs, and birds ...

Evidence of widespread selection on standing variation in Europe at height-associated SNPs. [PDF]
, 2012 Strong signatures of positive selection at newly arising genetic variants are well documented in humans(1-8), but this form of selection may not be widespread in recent human evolution(9).

Different evolutionary paths to complexity for small and large populations of digital organisms [PDF]
, 2016 A major aim of evolutionary biology is to explain the respective roles of adaptive versus non-adaptive changes in the evolution of complexity. While selection is certainly responsible for the spread and maintenance of complex phenotypes, this does not ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The marsh fritillary (Euphydryas aurinia) is a critically endangered butterfly species in Denmark known to be particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation due to its poor dispersal capacity.

Implications of long tails in the distribution of mutant effects [PDF]
, 2005 Long-tailed distributions possess an in nite variance, yet a nite sample that is drawn from such a distribution has a nite variance. In this work we consider a model of a population subject to mutation, selection and drift.

PLoS ONE, 2015 The integration of ecological and evolutionary data is highly valuable for conservation planning. However, it has been rarely used in the marine realm, where the adequate design of marine protected areas (MPAs) is urgently needed.
