Plant Genetic Diversity and the Struggel to Measure Selection

phylogeography and genetic diversity of the lesser mouse- eared bat (myotis blythii) in iran

in current study, 63 samples of bat populations collected from differ regions were used for evaluating the geographic variations. twenty cranial and dental characters for traditional morphometric and landmarks method on the ventral, dorsal skull and mandible for geometry morphometric studies were used. statistical analyses of traditional morphometric and geometry morphometric data indicated low...

Fitness Uniform Selection to Preserve Genetic Diversity

In evolutionary algorithms, the fitness of a population increases with time by mutating and recombining individuals and by a biased selection of more fit individuals. The right selection pressure is critical in ensuring sufficient optimization progress on the one hand and in preserving genetic diversity to be able to escape from local optima on the other. We propose a new selection scheme, whic...

Genetic Diversity in the Interference Selection Limit

Pervasive natural selection can strongly influence observed patterns of genetic variation, but these effects remain poorly understood when multiple selected variants segregate in nearby regions of the genome. Classical population genetics fails to account for interference between linked mutations, which grows increasingly severe as the density of selected polymorphisms increases. Here, we descr...

A Novel Diversity Measure of Genetic Programming

The Genetic Programming (GP)[1] is one of the novel evolutionary computation which is applied to complicated structure problems. The most important feature of GP is that individuals in GP are represented by the tree structure. The expression ability of tree structure is very flexible, and this is why GP is expected to solve many difficulties of Genetic Algorithms (GAs). However, the analysis of...
