Considering Intra-individual Genetic Heterogeneity to Understand Biodiversity [PDF]
, 2019 In this chapter, I am concerned with the concept of Intra-individual Genetic Hetereogeneity (IGH) and its potential influence on biodiversity estimates. Definitions of biological individuality are often indirectly dependent on genetic sampling -and vice ...
