Phenotypic Variation in Infants, Not Adults, Reflects Genotypic Variation among Chimpanzees and Bonobos
Studies comparing phenotypic variation with neutral genetic variation in modern humans have shown that genetic drift is a main factor of evolutionary diversification among populations. The genetic population history of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees and bonobos, is now equally well documented, but phenotypic variation among these taxa remains relatively unexplored, and phenotype-...
متن کاملEcological variation in cognition: Insights from bonobos and chimpanzees
One of the most pressing problems for the comparative study of cognition is explaining the emergence of variation in psychological abilities across species. How and why do such differences in cognition arise? This is an especially important question with respect to understanding the evolutionary history of our own species: although humans show important cognitive continuities with animals, we a...
متن کاملBonobos Fall within the Genomic Variation of Chimpanzees
To gain insight into the patterns of genetic variation and evolutionary relationships within and between bonobos and chimpanzees, we sequenced 150,000 base pairs of nuclear DNA divided among 15 autosomal regions as well as the complete mitochondrial genomes from 20 bonobos and 58 chimpanzees. Except for western chimpanzees, we found poor genetic separation of chimpanzees based on sample localit...
متن کاملGenotypic richness predicts phenotypic variation in an endangered clonal plant.
Declines in genetic diversity within a species can affect the stability and functioning of populations. The conservation of genetic diversity is thus a priority, especially for threatened or endangered species. The importance of genetic variation, however, is dependent on the degree to which it translates into phenotypic variation for traits that affect individual performance and ecological pro...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic variation among Capsicum annuum recombinant inbred lines resistant to bacterial spot.
A breeding program carried out under Brazilian growing conditions to obtain Capsicum annuum cultivars with disease resistance to bacterial spot (BS) produced 8 promising recombinant inbred lines (RILs). The present study aimed to characterize these RILs using phenotypic descriptors and molecular markers (inter-simple sequence repeat) and to confirm their resistance to BS. Twenty-two phenotypic ...
