A general analytical formula is derived, which predicts the effects of background selection on population differentiation at a neutral locus as a result of its linkage with selected loci of deleterious mutations. The theory is based on the assumptions of random mating, multiplicative fitness, and weak selection in hermaphrodite plants in the island model of population structure. The analytical ...

Temporal derivatives are computed by a wide variety of neural circuits, but the problem of performing this computation accurately has received little theoretical study. Here we systematically compare the performance of diverse networks that calculate derivatives using cell-intrinsic adaptation and synaptic depression dynamics, feedforward network dynamics, and recurrent network dynamics. Exampl...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...
