Neutral theory in macroecology and population genetics
Current neutral theory in macroecology has many parallels with neutral theory in population genetics, but it also has many distinct features that arise because it focuses mainly on questions at the community level rather than at the population level. Here we highlight the similarities and differences between these two bodies of theories from the aspects of the operational units, definitions of ...
متن کاملMicrobial Population Genetics
Microbial Population Genetics // 190445559X, 9781904455592 // Jianping Xu // 213 pages // Horizon Scientific Press, 2010 // 2010 Microbial population genetics is a rapidly advancing field of investigation with relevance to many areas of science. The subject encompasses theoretical issues, such as the origins and evolution of species, sex, and recombination. Population genetics lays the foundati...
متن کاملThe sampling theory of neutral alleles and an urn model in population genetics.
The behaviour of a Pólya-like urn which generates Ewens' sampling formula in population genetics is investigated. Connections are made with work of Watterson and Kingman and to the Poisson-Dirichlet distribution. The order in which novel types occur in the urn is shown to parallel the age distribution of the infinitely many alleles diffusion model and consequences of this property are explored....
متن کاملTheory and practice in quantitative genetics.
With the rapid advances in molecular biology, the near completion of the human genome, the development of appropriate statistical genetic methods and the availability of the necessary computing power, the identification of quantitative trait loci has now become a realistic prospect for quantitative geneticists. We briefly describe the theoretical biometrical foundations underlying quantitative ...
متن کاملPopulation genetics: Coalescence theory I
To understand inferences based on sampling random relationships among a small sample of individuals of a contemporary population we need to know some basic models of population history. Several such models exist. Fisher (1929, and 1930) and Wright (1931) developed independently a simple population model. We call this model the Wright-Fisher population model. Alternatives are the Moran model, de...
