Phylogeography of the harlequin beetle-riding pseudoscorpion and the rise of the Isthmus of Panamá.
Molecular and geological evidence indicates that the emergence of the Isthmus of Panamá influenced the historical biogeography of the Neotropics in a complex, staggered manner dating back at least 9 Myr bp. To assess the influence of Isthmus formation on the biogeography of the harlequin beetle-riding pseudoscorpion, Cordylochernes scorpioides, we analysed mitochondrial COI sequence data from 7...
متن کاملCoalescence and genetic diversity in sexual populations under selection.
In sexual populations, selection operates neither on the whole genome, which is repeatedly taken apart and reassembled by recombination, nor on individual alleles that are tightly linked to the chromosomal neighborhood. The resulting interference between linked alleles reduces the efficiency of selection and distorts patterns of genetic diversity. Inference of evolutionary history from diversit...
متن کاملSelection in finite populations with multiple alleles. 3. Genetic divergence with centripetal selection and mutation.
Natural selection for an intermediate level of gene or enzyme activity has been shown to lead to a high frequency of heterotic polymorphisms in populations subject to mutation and random genetic drift. The model assumes a symmetrical spectrum of mutational variation, with the majority of variants having only minor effects on the probability of survival. Each mutational event produces a variant ...
متن کاملImpact of interpopulation divergence on additive and dominance variance in hybrid populations.
We present a theoretical proof that the ratio of the dominance vs. the additive variance decreases with increasing genetic divergence between two populations. While the dominance variance is the major component of the variance due to specific combining ability (sigma(SCA)(2)), the additive variance is the major component of the variance due to general combining ability (sigma(GCA)(2)). Therefor...
متن کاملCultural sexual selection in monogamous human populations
In humans, both sexes sometimes show peculiar mating preferences that do not appear to increase their fitness either directly or indirectly. As humans may transmit their preferences and target culturally, and these may be artificially modifiable, I develop theoretical models where a preference and/or a trait are culturally transmitted with a restriction of the trait modification. I assume a mon...
