Population Genetic Analysis Reveals Recent Demographic Expansion and Local Differentiation of Areca Palm Velarivirus 1 in Hainan Island

Plants
Areca palm velarivirus 1 (APV1), the causal agent of yellow leaf disease (YLD), poses a serious threat to the economically important areca palm industry in the Hainan Province, China, yet its evolutionary dynamics remain poorly understood.

Increase in Complexity and Information through Molecular Evolution

Entropy, 2016
Biological evolution progresses by essentially three different mechanisms: (I) optimization of properties through natural selection in a population of competitors; (II) development of new capabilities through cooperation of competitors caused by ...

Mitochondrial genomes of Macropsini (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Eurymelinae): Structural features, codon usage patterns, and phylogenetic implications

Ecology and Evolution
Macropsini is a tribe of Eurymelinae in the family Cicadellidae that is widely distributed worldwide. Still, its taxonomic status has been unstable, and the classification of certain clades at the genus level has been controversial. The aim of this study

The power of allele frequency comparisons to detect the footprint of selection in natural and experimental situations

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2005
Recently, inter-population comparisons of allele frequencies to detect past selection haven gained popularity. Data from genome-wide scans are used to detect the number and position of genes that have responded to unknown selection pressures in natural ...
