Ecological genetics of range size variation in Boechera spp. (Brassicaceae)
Many taxonomic groups contain both rare and widespread species, which indicates that range size can evolve quickly. Many studies have compared molecular genetic diversity, plasticity, or phenotypic traits between rare and widespread species; however, a suite of genetic attributes that unites rare species remains elusive. Here, using two rare and two widespread Boechera (Brassicaceae) species, w...
متن کاملNatural variation in Arabidopsis: from molecular genetics to ecological genomics.
One of themost remarkable biological insights in the past 30 years has been that many genetic programs for complex traits, such as flower or limb development, are shared across broad groups of organisms. These conserved pathways in turn can be tuned to produce tremendous phenotypic differences, not only between, but also within species. Intraspecific variation is often quantitative, one example...
متن کاملMultiparty Split - Ticket Voting Estimation as an Ecological Inference Problem ∗
The estimation of vote splitting in mixed-member electoral systems is a common problem in electoral studies, where the goal of researchers is to estimate individual voter transitions between parties on two different ballots cast simultaneously. Because the ballots are cast separately and secretly, however, voter choice on the two ballots must be recreated from separately tabulated aggregate dat...
متن کاملMolecular population genetics of mtDNA size variation in crickets.
Nucleotide sequence analysis of a region of cricket (Gryllus firmus) mtDNA showing discrete length variation revealed tandemly repeated sequences 220 base pairs (bp) in length. The repeats consist of 206 bp sequences bounded by the dyad symmetric sequence 5'GGGGGCATGCCCCC3'. The sequence data showed that mtDNA size variation in this species is due to variation in the number of copies of tandem ...
متن کاملExploration of community traits as ecological markers in microbial metagenomes.
The rate of information collection generated by metagenomics is uncoupled with its meaningful ecological interpretation. New analytical approaches based on functional trait-based ecology may help to bridge this gap and extend the trait approach to the community level in vast and complex environmental genetic data sets. Here, we explored a set of community traits that range from nucleotidic to g...
