P of variation in nature have played a large role in the development of explanations for biological richness at the species level. One such inf luential pattern has been the morphological distinctiveness of small populations on islands at the periphery of a large continental land mass (1). If the island differs from the mainland in habitat or composition of the biological community, the morphol...

This study aims to determine the relevance of value religiosity economic behavior by SAMIAJI rengginang producers. research is descriptive with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique used in this form observations made at producer located Warungasem, Batang. Then interviews Mrs. Masruroh as founder business, and documentation techniques. result that which Warungasem Batang, has e...

Comparative genome scans can be used to identify chromosome regions, but not traits, that are putatively under selection. Identification of targeted traits may be more likely in recently domesticated populations under strong artificial selection for increased production. We used a North American Atlantic salmon 6K SNP dataset to locate genome regions of an aquaculture strain (Saint John River) ...

BACKGROUND Specific language impairment (SLI) occurs in 2% to 8% of preschool children. Major and candidate genes are probably involved. Genetic drift is a cause for the presence of high frequencies of deleterious alíeles of a specific disease and the founder effect is one of its forms. Robinson Crusoe Island has 633 inhabitants and its actual population began with 8 families that repopulated t...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Invasive species are nonnative species that enter novel environments, establish sustained populations, and can negatively impact native species. Here we assess a potential weakness of invasive species (genetic load) and show how species might overcome genetic barriers. Colonization of novel habitats by invasive species typically involves few individuals, expos...

The Canchim (5/8 Charolais + 3/8 Zebu) beef cattle breed was developed at Southeast-Embrapa Cattle to take advantage of hybrid vigor and to combine the higher growth rate and beef quality of Charolais with tropical adaptations of Zebu. The development of three lineages (old, new, and crossbred) has increased its genetic basis. The genotypic origin (Bos taurus or Bos indicus) of the mitochondria...

The larval muscles of Drosophila arise from the fusion of muscle founder cells, which give each individual muscle its identity, with myoblasts (reviewed in [1]). Muscle founder cells arise from the asymmetric division of muscle progenitor cells, each of which develops from a group of cells in the somatic mesoderm that express lethal of scute [2]. All the cells in a cluster can potentially form ...

The founder principle has been used to explain many instances of rapid speciation. Advances from theoretical population genetics are incorporated into MAYR's original founder-effect genetic-revolution model to yield a newer model called the genetic transilience. The basic theoretical edifice lies upon the fact that founder event can sometimes lead to an accumulation of inbreeding and an inducti...
