EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS OF INSULAR ADRIATIC LIZARDS

Evolutionary Strategies in Insular Environments

This paper is divided into two parts: classic knowledge on theory of island biogeography (I) and the evolution of behaviour and morphology under insular constraints (II). The main subjects dealt with are: the problem of small populations (1); the biological definition of an island and the importance of biological studies on islands (2); the species-area effect and its consequences for a nature ...

Evolutionary Genetics Theoretical Population Genetics

Evolutionary genetics studies the patterns and mechanisms of genetic changes underlying evolutionary change. Because biological diversity at all levels (including population, species, and ecosystem diversity) has a genetic basis and is a result of evolution, evolutionary genetics provides insight into the ultimate mechanisms creating biodiversity. Evolutionary genetics utilizes empirical tools ...

Evolutionary Genetics

Evolutionary behavioral genetics.

We describe the scientific enterprise at the intersection of evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics-a field that could be termed Evolutionary Behavioral Genetics-and how modern genetic data is revolutionizing our ability to test questions in this field. We first explain how genetically informative data and designs can be used to investigate questions about the evolution of human behavi...

Paleoanthropology and Evolutionary Genetics

Bioinformatics is science of biological database management to deal with how to store, access, process genetics information DNA, RNA and Protein etc. Most of researches are depend on DNA, RNA and Protein structure. This paper suggests some new application of bioinformatics in Paleogenetics and Paleoanthropology.
