Inclusive fitness forces of selection in an age-structured population
Hamilton’s force of selection acting against age-specific mortality is constant and maximal prior to the age of first reproduction, before declining...

Structured 3′ UTRs destabilize mRNAs in plants
BackgroundRNA secondary structure (RSS) can influence the regulation of transcription, RNA processing, and protein synthesis, among other processes....

Unexpected and spatially structured genetic diversity of the relict population of the endangered corsican land snail Tyrrhenaria ceratina
Population genetics of threatened species provides information about evolutionary pressures over those populations and thus may inform conservation...

Genomic prediction and training set optimization in a structured Mediterranean oat population
Key messageThe strong genetic structure observed in Mediterranean oats affects the predictive ability of genomic prediction as well as the...

The Evolution of Cooperation in a Lattice-Structured Population Under Two Different Updating Rules
The evolution of cooperation is studied in a lattice-structured habitat under two different updating rules: the score-dependent viability model...
-
The regulating effect of growth plasticity on the dynamics of structured populations
Plasticity is the extent to which life history processes such as growth and reproduction depend on the environment. Plasticity in individual growth...
-
Examining the generality of the biphasic transition from niche-structured to immigration-structured communities
Theoretical and empirical studies suggest that as immigration increases, ecological communities transition from a niche-structured regime to an...

Population Dynamics of Neotropical Marsupials
In this chapter, the most important aspects related to the population dynamics of Neotropical marsupials are reviewed. Each topic includes some...

Demography, genetics, and decline of a spatially structured population of lekking bird
Understanding the mechanisms underlying population decline is a critical challenge for conservation biologists. Both deterministic (e.g. habitat...

Impact of population structure in the estimation of recent historical effective population size by the software GONE
BackgroundEffective population size ( N e ) is a crucial parameter in conservation genetics and animal breeding. A recent method, implemented by the...

Population size as a major determinant of mating system and population genetic differentiation in a narrow endemic chasmophyte
BackgroundMating system is one of the major determinants of intra- and interspecific genetic structure, but may vary within and between plant...

Population Structure and Migration
We begin with a discussion of how population structure is commonly modeled, including island, stepping-stone, and isolation-by-distance models. The...
