ABO AND RH BLOOD GROUPS DISTRIBUTION IN THE POPULATIONS OF LARESTAN AND LAMERD, FARS PROVINCE, IRAN [PDF]
A total of 3204 ABO and Rh blood groups were investigated in Larestan and Lamerd populations, in Fars province, in Iran. The frequency of the A gene ranged from 16.54% to 21.96, the B gene from 15.85 to 27.77% and that of the d gene from 21.49 to 33.01% ;

Relaxation of putative plant defenses in a tropical agroecosystem
Evidence of the effects of agriculture on natural systems is widespread, but potential evolutionary responses in nontarget species are largely uncharacterized.

The Neutral Theory in Light of Natural Selection.
In this perspective, we evaluate the explanatory power of the neutral theory of molecular evolution, 50 years after its introduction by Kimura. We argue that the neutral theory was supported by unreliable theoretical and empirical evidence from the ...

Mathematical modeling of the mechanism of a reproductive strategies differentiation in natural populations (on the example of arctic fox, Alopex lagopus) [PDF]
This paper considers the integrated approach to modeling the dynamics of genetic structure and the number of natural population. A set of dynamic models with different types of natural selection is used to describe a possible mechanism for the fixing of ...

Predator-driven natural selection on risk-taking behavior in anole lizards
Predation favors the unadventurous Selection is likely to shape behavior by acting on behavioral differences between individuals. Testing this idea has been challenging. Lapiedra et al.

The heterogeneous seascapes in the northwestern Pacific (NWP) can be important selective forces driving adaptive divergence of marine coastal species distributed along the gradients. Here, we tested this hypothesis in Japanese mantis shrimp (Oratosquilla

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Cancer incidence increasing globally: The role of relaxed natural selection
Cancer incidence increase has multiple aetiologies. Mutant alleles accumulation in populations may be one of them due to strong heritability of many cancers.

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
