Evolutionary significance of the variation in acoustic communication of a cryptic nocturnal primate radiation (Microcebus spp.)

open access: yesEcology 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 ...

Relationship between microspatial population genetic structure and habitat heterogeneity in Pomatias elegans (O.F. Müller 1774) (Caenogastropoda, Pomatiasidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In the present study the population genetic structure of the terrestrial snail Pomatias elegans was related to habitat structure on a microspatial scale.

Strong isolation by distance among local populations of an endangered butterfly species (Euphydryas aurinia)

open access: yesEcology 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.

High genetic diversity in the remnant island population of hihi and the genetic consequences of re-introduction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The maintenance of genetic diversity is thought to be fundamental for the conservation of threatened species. It is therefore important to understand how genetic diversity is affected by the re-introduction of threatened species.

Combining genetic and demographic data for the conservation of a Mediterranean marine habitat-forming species.

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Migration and Genetic Drift in Human Populations [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1986
In humans and many other species, mortality is concentrated early in the life cycle, and is low during the ages of dispersal and reproduction. Yet precisely the opposite is assumed by classical population-genetics models of migration and genetic drift. We introduce a model in which population regulation occurs before migration.

Assessment of genetic diversity in natural European hophornbeam (Ostrya carpinifolia Scop.) populations in Turkey

open access: yesBiotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2016
Genetic diversity is a crucial component for plant survivability and fitness in terms of adaptation, genetic stability and variability. In this study, a total of 160 genotypes were investigated using 12 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers to ...

Establishing an Apheresis Medicine Program in a Resource‐Constrained Setting: A 5‐Year Experience From Lagos, Nigeria

open access: yesTherapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Establishing a comprehensive apheresis medicine program in a resource‐constrained setting presents significant structural, financial, and logistical challenges. Despite the growing clinical importance of apheresis services globally, published experience from sub‐Saharan Africa remains sparse.
