Tzu-Kai Lin et al.
Pigmentation evolved in ancestral humans to protect against toxic, ultraviolet B irradiation, but the question remains: "what is being protected?" Because humans with dark pigmentation display a suite of superior epidermal functions in comp...
Assessing the potential for assisted gene flow using past introduction of Norway spruce in southern Sweden: Local adaptation and genetic basis of quantitative traits in trees [0.03%]
利用引入历史评估挪威云杉人工基因流动的潜力:树木数量性状的地方适应性和遗传基础

Pascal Milesi et al.
Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a dominant conifer species of major economic importance in northern Europe. Extensive breeding programs were established to improve phenotypic traits of economic interest. In southern Sweden, seeds used to cre...
Temporal variation in spatial genetic structure during population outbreaks: Distinguishing among different potential drivers of spatial synchrony [0.03%]
种群爆发过程中空间遗传结构的时空变化:区分空间同步的不同潜在驱动因素
Jeremy Larroque,Simon Legault,Rob Johns et al.
Jeremy Larroque et al.
Spatial synchrony is a common characteristic of spatio-temporal population dynamics across many taxa. While it is known that both dispersal and spatially autocorrelated environmental variation (i.e., the Moran effect) can synchronize popula...
What can a comparative genomics approach tell us about the pathogenicity of mtDNA mutations in human populations? [0.03%]
采用比较基因组学方法能告诉我们关于人类群体中线粒体DNA突变致病性的哪些信息?

Hosts are typically infected with multiple strains or genotypes of one or several parasite species. These infections can take place simultaneously, but also at different times, i.e. sequentially, when one of the parasites establishes first....
Single nucleotide polymorphisms reveal a genetic cline across the north-east Atlantic and enable powerful population assignment in the European lobster [0.03%]
单核苷酸多态性在北大西洋呈现出遗传cline并能有效进行欧洲龙虾的种群划分

Tom L Jenkins et al.
Resolving stock structure is crucial for fisheries conservation to ensure that the spatial implementation of management is commensurate with that of biological population units. To address this in the economically important European lobster...
Population analysis reveals genetic structure of an invasive agricultural thrips pest related to invasion of greenhouses and suitable climatic space [0.03%]
基于人口分析揭示了一种入侵农业蓟马害虫与侵入温室和适宜气候空间相关的遗传结构
Li-Jun Cao,Yong-Fu Gao,Ya-Jun Gong et al.
Li-Jun Cao et al.
Biological invasions of pests into climatically unsuitable areas can be facilitated by human-regulated environments, in which case there may be an impact on genetic structure through population processes and/or adaptation. Here, we investig...

Nynke Raven et al.
The fifth biannual conference of the International Society of Evolution and Ecology of Cancer (ISEEC) was held between the 17th and 19th of July 2019 in Hinxton (UK) at the Wellcome Genome Campus. The main theme of the conference: cooperati...
Adaptive limitations of white spruce populations to drought imply vulnerability to climate change in its western range [0.03%]
种群适应性的限制使得白皮云杉无法抵御干旱从而使其在西部地区易受气候变化的影响
Zihaohan Sang,Jaime Sebastian-Azcona,Andreas Hamann et al.
Zihaohan Sang et al.
A cost-effective climate change adaptation strategy for the forestry sector is to move seed sources to more northern and higher elevation planting sites as part of ongoing reforestation programs. This is meant to match locally adapted popul...
Preferential helping to relatives: A potential mechanism responsible for lower yield of crop variety mixtures? [0.03%]
倾向于帮助亲属:作物品种混合产量较低的一种潜在机制?
Hélène Fréville,Pierre Roumet,Nicolas Olivier Rode et al.
Hélène Fréville et al.
Variety mixtures, the cultivation of different genotypes within a field, have been proposed as a way to increase within-crop diversity, allowing the development of more sustainable agricultural systems with reduced environmental costs. Alth...
