Female genotypes affect sperm displacement in Drosophila.
Differential success of sperm is likely to be an important component of fitness. Extensive variation among male genotypes in competitive success of sperm in multiply mated females has been documented for Drosophila melanogaster. However, virtually all previous studies considered the female to be a passive vessel. Nevertheless, under certain conditions female fitness could be determined by her r...
متن کاملThe population genetics of phytophthora.
There are more than 60 species in the genus Phytophthora (94), and most are destructive plant pathogens. Extensive efforts are directed at the control of Phytophthora diseases each year, yet they still cause serious crop losses. For example, more than $200 million in lost production annually is attributed to Phytophthora diseases in Australia alone (47). Late blight, caused by P. infestans, pro...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetics Theoretical Population Genetics
Evolutionary genetics studies the patterns and mechanisms of genetic changes underlying evolutionary change. Because biological diversity at all levels (including population, species, and ecosystem diversity) has a genetic basis and is a result of evolution, evolutionary genetics provides insight into the ultimate mechanisms creating biodiversity. Evolutionary genetics utilizes empirical tools ...
متن کاملPopulation genetics
Population genetics is the study of genetic variability within a population and of the forces that act upon it. As well as being of central importance to our understanding of evolution from prehistoric to modern times, it now also affects our everyday lives — whether considering human genetic disease, how to avoid the extinction of rare species or the merits of ‘DNA fingerprinting’ in forensic ...
