Population genomics of eusocial insects: the costs of a vertebrate-like effective population size.
The evolution of reproductive division of labour and social life in social insects has lead to the emergence of several life-history traits and adaptations typical of larger organisms: social insect colonies can reach masses of several kilograms, they start reproducing only when they are several years old, and can live for decades. These features and the monopolization of reproduction by only o...
متن کاملEffective population size
What is it? An aid to calculation in population genetics, introduced by Sewall Wright. The rate of change of the genetic make-up of a population by genetic drift — fluctuations in allele frequencies caused by random sampling — is inversely related to the effective population size, Ne. Ne is measured with reference to an ideal ‘Wright–Fisher’ population. This has a fixed number of N diploid bree...
متن کاملInferring the Dynamics of Effective Population Size Using Autosomal Genomes
Next-generation sequencing technology has provided a great opportunity for inferring human demographic history by investigating changes in the effective population size (Ne). In this report, we introduce a strategy for estimating Ne dynamics, allowing the exploration of large multi-locus SNP datasets. We applied this strategy to the Phase 1 Han Chinese samples from the 1000 Genomes Project. The...
متن کاملLong-term population dynamics of the epiphytic bromeliad, Werauhia sanguinolenta
The population dynamics of the epiphytic bromeliad, Werauhia sanguinolenta , growing in the moist tropical forest of Barro Colorado Island, Panama, was studied for seven years from 1997 through 2004. In contrast to the generally held notion of the great importance of moisture availability for growth and survival of vascular epiphytes, no demographic process showed a significant correlation with...
متن کاملEco-evolutionary dynamics: fluctuations in population growth rate reduce effective population size in chinook salmon.
We empirically assess the relationship between population growth rate (lambda, a parameter central to ecology) and effective population size (N(e), a key parameter in evolutionary biology). Recent theoretical and numerical studies indicate that in semelparous species with variable age at maturity (such as Pacific salmon, many monocarpic plants, and various other species), differences in mean re...
