Conservation genetics as applied evolution: from genetic pattern to evolutionary process
Conservation genetics can be seen as the effort to influence the evolutionary process in ways that enhance the persistence of populations. Much published research in the field applies genetic sampling techniques to infer population parameters from the patterns of variation in threatened populations. The limited resolution of these inferences seems to yield limited confidence which results in co...
متن کاملGenetics of the Evolutionary Process
What we are doing to the human environment and what we can and must do to keep it fit to live in are discussed and presented effectively. The distinguished author-wife team makes an eloquent plea "for the preservation of natural diversity and for the creation of man-made diversity-in the hope that the prevailing trend toward uniformity can be arrested and the world kept a fit place for the grea...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetics: Evolution with Foresight
Evolution has no foresight, but produces ad hoc solutions by tinkering with available variation. A new study demonstrates how evolution nevertheless prepares organisms for the future by increasing their evolvability.
متن کاملGenetic conservation: our evolutionary responsibility.
The conservation of the crop varieties of traditional agriculture in the centers of genetic diversity is essential to provide genetic resources for plant improvement. These resources are acutely threatened by rapid agricultural development which is essential for the welfare of millions. Methodologies for genetic conservation have been worked out which are both effective and economical. Urgent a...
متن کاملIntron evolution as a population-genetic process.
Debate over the mechanisms responsible for the phylogenetic and genomic distribution of introns has proceeded largely without consideration of the population-genetic forces influencing the establishment and retention of novel genetic elements. However, a simple model incorporating random genetic drift and weak mutation pressure against intron-containing alleles yields predictions consistent wit...
