Technologically modified genes in natural populations [PDF]
, 1993 Current theories of evolutionary and ecological genetics cannot be used for general statements on risk assessment of gene technology. In a simplifying model, the genes which are transferred from artificial populations are treated like mutations in the ...

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 ...

Experimental evolution reveals high insecticide tolerance in Daphnia inhabiting farmland ponds [PDF]
, 2015 Exposure of nontarget populations to agricultural chemicals is an important aspect of global change. We quantified the capacity of natural Daphnia magna populations to locally adapt to insecticide exposure through a selection experiment involving ...

Evolutionary plant breeding for low input systems [PDF]
, 2005 Heritable variation is at the heart of the process of evolution. However, variation is restricted in breeding for uniform crop populations using the pedigree line approach. Pedigree lines are successful in agriculture because synthetic inputs are used to

The limits of mean-field heterozygosity estimates under spatial extension in simulated plant populations [PDF]
, 2012 Computational models of evolutionary processes are increasingly required to incorporate multiple and diverse sources of data. A popular feature to include in population genetics models is spatial extension, which reflects more accurately natural ...

LIVING ON THE EDGE: WINTER DIET SELECTION AND BODY CONDITION OF WILD TURKEYS IN NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2010 : The eastern wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) has been introduced into areas outside its historic northern range. Agricultural foods are believed to be an important factor contributing to its survival and range expansion in these northern ...
