Kinship and Population Subdivision
The coefficient of kinship between two diploid organisms describes their overall genetic similarity to each other relative to some base population. For example, kinship between parent and offspring of 1/4 describes gene sharing in excess of random sharing in a random mating population. In a subdivided population the statistic Fst describes gene sharing within subdivisions in the same way. Since...
متن کاملParasite-mediated heterozygote advantage in an outbred songbird population.
Coevolution with parasites is thought to maintain genetic diversity in host populations. However, while there are sound theoretical reasons to expect heterozygosity and parasite resistance to be related, this pattern has generally been shown only in inbred laboratory and island populations. This leaves doubt as to whether parasite-mediated selection for genetic diversity is in fact a general pr...
متن کاملEffective population size and population subdivision in demographically structured populations.
A fast-timescale approximation is applied to the coalescent process in a single population, which is demographically structured by sex and/or age. This provides a general expression for the probability that a pair of alleles sampled from the population coalesce in the previous time interval. The effective population size is defined as the reciprocal of twice the product of generation time and t...
متن کاملCoyote movements and social structure along a cryptic population genetic subdivision.
A recent region-wide study determined that the central California coyote (Canis latrans) population was genetically subdivided according to habitat bioregions, supporting the hypothesis that coyotes exhibit a dispersal bias toward their natal habitat type. Here, we further investigated this hypothesis using radio-collared coyotes captured on a 150-km(2) study site on the border of (i.e. overlap...
متن کاملHeterozygote Detection
saemia in a British hospital, with emphasis on heterozygote detection. Results are reported of a screening programme for galactosaemia covering a period of 2A years and 6415 births. The gene frequency for galactosaemia estimated from the data of the screening programme was 0-002. This conflicted with the known livebirth incidence of at least 1: 50,000 during this same period. 2 of the 4 galacto...
