Understanding the joint effects of gene flow and selection is one of the more important but difficult areas of evolutionary genetics. A method is presented to describe cases of gene flow–selection ...

We examined whether mimics occur in allopatry because of gene flow 11,12 from regions where the model is present (and where mimics are selectively favoured) to regions where the model is absent. We ...

Rates of gene flow and neighborhood area were investigated in the selfing annual, Triticum dicoccoides. The collection of seed material was made using a spatial hierarchical sampling design in which ...

Studies of intermixture are shown to be of considerable use for distinguishing alíeles upon which selective forces are acting. Some of the statistical and methodological problems associated with the ...

Giraffes, with their bizarre body plan, have always held a special place in the minds of evolutionary biologists and non-experts alike. In a new study whole-genome sequencing data was used to ...

Gene flow from genetically modified crop plants to their wild relatives will have little overall impact on human health or the environment, predicts a team of researchers in a report released today by ...

Growers of conventional, organic and genetically engineered alfalfa can all co-exist in the marketplace if they adopt appropriate agricultural practices, according to a recently released report that ...
