Maximization through optimization? On the relationship between hybrid performance and parental genetic distance
Heterosis is the improved performance of hybrids compared with their parental components and is widely exploited in agriculture. According to...

Genetic distance from wolves affects family dogs’ reactions towards howls
Domestication dramatically changes behaviour, including communication, as seen in the case of dogs ( Canis familiaris ) and wolves ( Canis lupus ). We...

Robustness of resistance surface optimisations: sampling schemes and genetic distance metrics affect inferences in landscape genetics
ContextLandscape genetics provides powerful tools to quantify the effects of landscape features on population connectivity, but robust results are...

Loss of genetic diversity and isolation by distance and by environment in populations of a keystone ungulate species
Adaptive genetic and neutral variations are essential for maintaining population viability in changing environmental conditions. Habitat loss and...

Partitioning genetic structure of a subterranean rodent at multiple spatial scales: accounting for isolation by barriers, distance, and environment
ContextUnderstanding genetic structure at multiple spatial scales and identifying drivers of genetic isolation are important for developing...

Red Mangrove Propagule Bacterial Communities Vary With Geographic, But Not Genetic Distance
Bacterial communities associated with plant propagules remain understudied, despite the opportunities that propagules represent as dispersal vectors...

Divergence of the Host-Associated Microbiota with the Genetic Distance of Host Individuals Within a Parthenogenetic Daphnia Species
The taxonomic composition of the microbiota in the gut and epidermis of animals is known to vary among genetically and physiologically different host...

Geographic isolation and long-distance gene flow influence the genetic structure of the blue fan palm Brahea armata (Arecaceae)
The formation of the Baja California Peninsula (BCP) has impacted the microevolutionary dynamics of different species in ways that depend on...

Prediction of heterotic combinations using correlation between genetic distance, heterosis and combining ability in yellow sarson (Brassica rapa var. yellow sarson Prain)
Prediction of heterotic combinations from parental dissimilarity will improve the efficiency of heterosis breeding. This study was conducted to...

Long-distance dispersal drives the genetic variation and historical demography of Quercus magnoliifolia and Quercus resinosa (Fagaceae) in the Mexican highlands
While hybridization and introgression can have a strong adaptive importance, it can impede divergence of species. Quercus magnoliifolia and Q. resinosa ...

Environment influences the genetic structure and genetic differentiation of Sassafras tzumu (Lauraceae)
BackgroundSassafras tzumu , an elegant deciduous arboreal species, belongs to the esteemed genus Sassafras within the distinguished family Lauraceae....

Host-Associated Bacterial Communities Vary Between Daphnia galeata Genotypes but Not by Host Genetic Distance
Host genotype may shape host-associated bacterial communities (commonly referred to as microbiomes). We sought to determine (a) whether bacterial...

Genetic Model Organisms
Model organisms are non-human species used for studying biological processes in laboratories. They are selected based on advantageous properties such...

Long-Distance Locomotion of the Pygmy Wood Mouse (Sylvaemus uralensis, Muridae): Movement Speed and Distance Revealed by Group Biomarking
AbstractUsing the method of group biomarking with rhodamine B, new data on migratory patterns (natal dispersal and breeding dispersal) of the pygmy...

Genetic characterization of cotton varieties and genetic threshold value determination for similar variety selection in cotton DUS testing
Cotton ( Gossypium L.) is a major cash crop throughout the world. In many cotton planting countries, testing for distinctness (D), uniformity (U), and...

Distance-dependent mating but considerable pollen immigration in an isolated Quercus rubra planting in Germany
Gene flow affects the genetic diversity and structure of tree species and can be influenced by stress related to changing climatic conditions. The...
-
Pollen dispersal distance is determined by phenology and ancillary traits but not floral gender in an andromonoecious, fly-pollinated alpine herb
Pollen-mediated gene flow and spatial genetic structure have rarely been studied in alpine plants that are pollinated by dipteran insects. In...

Remnant kenngoor (Phascogale calura) retain genetic connectivity and genetic diversity in a highly fragmented landscape
Kenngoor ( Phascogale calura ) persist in < 1% of their original distribution, occupying highly fragmented remnant habitat in south-west Western...

Differentiated genomic footprints suggest isolation and long-distance migration of Hmong-Mien populations
BackgroundThe underrepresentation of Hmong-Mien (HM) people in Asian genomic studies has hindered our comprehensive understanding of the full...

The genetic regulation of avian migration timing: combining candidate genes and quantitative genetic approaches in a long-distance migrant
Plant and animal populations can adapt to prolonged environmental changes if they have sufficient genetic variation in important phenological traits....
