Translocated populations are genetically similar to natural populations and populations resulting from natural colonizations. [PDF]
PLoS OneGenetic diversity and structure are rarely assessed in populations established through conservation translocation. Here, we analysed the genetic structure and diversity of populations of an endangered pond-breeding amphibian, the common midwife toad, Alytes obstetricans , by comparing ...

The impact of environmental factors on phenotypic diversity of natural populations of Polyspora in China [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceBackgroundPlant phenotypic diversity is not solely determined by genetic variation but is also shaped by the combined effects of environmental factors. Polyspora, a genus within the Theaceae family, consists of evergreen trees or shrubs widely recognized

Selection in Nature: Experimental Manipulations of Natural Populations [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2005 Numerous studies have documented evolution by natural selection in natural populations, but few are genuine selection experiments that are designed and then executed in nature. We will focus on these few cases to illustrate what can be learned from field selection experiments alone or field and laboratory selection experiments together that cannot be ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The wild tomato species Solanum chilense is divided into geographically and genetically distinct populations that show signs of defense gene selection and differential phenotypes when challenged with several phytopathogens, including the oomycete causal ...

Evolutionary biology studies on the Iris pumila clonal plant: Advantages of a good model system, main findings and directions for further research [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 Evolutionary studies on the dwarf bearded iris, Iris pumila L., a perennial clonal monocot with hermaphroditic enthomophylous flowers, have been conducted during the last three decades on plants and populations from the Deliblato Sands in Serbia.

Epigenetics in natural animal populations [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2017 AbstractPhenotypic plasticity is an important mechanism for populations to buffer themselves from environmental change. While it has long been appreciated that natural populations possess genetic variation in the extent of plasticity, a surge of recent evidence suggests that epigenetic variation could also play an important role in shaping phenotypic ...

The population of natural Earth satellites [PDF]
Icarus, 2012 We have for the first time calculated the population characteristics of the Earth's irregular natural satellites (NES) that are temporarily captured from the near-Earth-object (NEO) population. The steady-state NES size-frequency and residence-time distributions were determined under the dynamical influence of all the massive bodies in the solar system

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Disturbance can induce some dams to abandon their neonates, whereas others continue parental investment. Understanding the variability of the dam–neonate bond and parental investment of large, mobile species, reclusive during calving, such as moose ...
