Simultaneous detection of linkage disequilibrium and genetic differentiation of subdivided populations.
We propose a new method for simultaneously detecting linkage disequilibrium and genetic structure in subdivided populations. Taking subpopulation structure into account with a hierarchical model, we estimate the magnitude of genetic differentiation and linkage disequilibrium in a metapopulation on the basis of geographical samples, rather than decompose a population into a finite number of rand...
متن کاملEnvironmental variation, fluctuating selection and genetic drift in subdivided populations.
Although there have many studies of the population genetical consequences of environmental variation, little is known about the combined effects of genetic drift and fluctuating selection in structured populations. Here we use diffusion theory to investigate the effects of temporally and spatially varying selection on a population of haploid individuals subdivided into a large number of demes. ...
متن کاملUnicoloniality, recognition and genetic differentiation in a native Formica ant.
Some ants have an extraordinary form of social organization, called unicoloniality, whereby individuals mix freely among physically separated nests. This mode of social organization has been primarily studied in introduced and invasive ant species, so that the recognition ability and genetic structure of ants forming unicolonial populations in their native range remain poorly known. We investig...
متن کاملGenetic Variation Within PoPulations
Seven microsatellite loci were used to develop multilocus genotypes for 49 individuals of Neotoma stephensi (Stephen’s woodrat) collected from nine sites in central and northern Arizona. Several statistical analyses were used to determine genetic structure, levels of genetic variability, and degree of relatedness. Structure analyses estimated two distinct groups within localities. The FST value...
متن کاملEffective sizes for subdivided populations.
Many derivations of effective population sizes have been suggested in the literature; however, few account for the breeding structure and none can readily be expanded to subdivided populations. Breeding structures influence gene correlations through their effects on the number of breeding individuals of each sex, the mean number of progeny per female, and the variance in the number of progeny p...
