Dominant markers such as amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) provide an economical way of surveying variation at many loci. However, the uncertainty about the underlying genotypes presents a problem for statistical analysis. Similarly, the presence of null alleles and the limitations of genotype calling in polyploids mean that many conventional analysis methods are invalid for many ...

Otsego Lake (Otsego County, NY), of glacial origin, forms the headwaters of the Susquehanna River. It is a deep (50.5 m max) dimictic waterbody of 4,167 acres having a catchment of 46,482 acres. The lake serves as the potable water supply of Cooperstown and it is noted for its cold water fishery, which includes native lake trout and whitefish as well as stocked brown trout and Atlantic salmon. ...

UNLABELLED Variation in gene expression is an important component of the phenotypic differences observed in nature. Gene expression variance across biological groups and environmental conditions has been studied extensively and has revealed specific genes and molecular mechanisms of interest. However, little is known regarding the importance of within-population gene expression variation to env...
