The Lewontin and Krakauer test on quantitative characters.
It is shown that LEWONTIN and KRAKAUER's test could also be applied to quantitative characters that do not show important dominance and epistatic genetic variances. The design of experiments for this purpose and the error of the estimation of F are discussed.
متن کاملAmong-locus variation in Fst: fish, allozymes and the Lewontin-Krakauer test revisited.
Variation among loci in the distribution of allele frequencies among subpopulations is well known; how to tell when the variation exceeds that expected when all loci are subject to uniform evolutionary processes is not well known. If locus-specific effects are important, the ability to detect those effects should vary with the level of gene flow. Populations with low gene flow should exhibit gr...
متن کاملDetecting selection in population trees: the Lewontin and Krakauer test extended.
Detecting genetic signatures of selection is of great interest for many research issues. Common approaches to separate selective from neutral processes focus on the variance of F(ST) across loci, as does the original Lewontin and Krakauer (LK) test. Modern developments aim to minimize the false positive rate and to increase the power, by accounting for complex demographic structures. Another st...
متن کاملAdaptionism-30 years after Gould and Lewontin.
Gould and Lewontin's 30-year-old critique of adaptionism fundamentally changed the discourse of evolutionary biology. However, with the influx of new ideas and scientific traditions from genomics into evolutionary biology, the old adaptionist controversies are being recycled in a new context. The insight gained by evolutionary biologists, that functional differences cannot be equated to adaptiv...
متن کاملThe 2DG-neutral red test for completeness of vagotomy.
Ever since vagotomy became an important part of modern peptic ulcer surgery, investigators have searched for a test that would reliably indicate the completeness of vagus nerve section. The insulin hypoglycemia test, originally advocated by Hollander [8], has remained the most widely utilized test for the completeness of vagotomy, but despite several modifications it’s reliability has been ques...
