Introgression versus immigration in hybridizing high-dispersal echinoderms.
Phylogeographic studies designed to estimate rates and patterns of genetic differentiation within species often reveal unexpected and graphically striking cases of allele or haplotype sharing between species (introgression) via hybridization and backcrossing. Does introgression between species significantly influence population genetic structure relative to more conventional sources of differen...
متن کاملMultilocus analyses of admixture and introgression among hybridizing Heliconius butterflies.
Introgressive hybridization is an important evolutionary process and new analytical methods provide substantial power to detect and quantify it. In this study we use variation in the frequency of 657 AFLP fragments and DNA sequence variation from 15 genes to measure the extent of admixture and the direction of interspecific gene flow among three Heliconius butterfly species that diverged recent...
متن کاملIntrogression and dispersal among spotted owl (Strix occidentalis) subspecies
Population genetics plays an increasingly important role in the conservation and management of declining species, particularly for defining taxonomic units. Subspecies are recognized by several conservation organizations and countries and receive legal protection under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA). Two subspecies of spotted owls, northern (Strix occidentalis caurina) and Mexican (S. o. l...
متن کاملDisentangling Timing of Admixture, Patterns of Introgression, and Phenotypic Indicators in a Hybridizing Wolf Population
Hybridization is a natural or anthropogenic process that can deeply affect the genetic make-up of populations, possibly decreasing individual fitness but sometimes favoring local adaptations. The population of Italian wolves (Canis lupus), after protracted demographic declines and isolation, is currently expanding in anthropic areas, with documented cases of hybridization with stray domestic do...
متن کاملEchinoderms
two fish. In the wild, kittiwakes have to learn to look for particular colours and patterns in the ocean to find the best place to fish. The researchers tried to recreate this for the captive birds by making them search for their food among a chequerboard of different coloured bowls. Chicks on the unrestricted fatty diet quickly learned which bowls contained food, but chicks on lean rations wer...
