Latitudinal cline in reproductive traits in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
AbstractSeveral previous studies have reported geographic variation and/or latitudinal clines of morphological sexual characteristics, but there are...

Geographical genetic structure of Lespedeza cuneata var. cuneata in Japan: necessity of genetic considerations in slope revegetation
The use of non-local seeds for revegetation may cause genetic disturbances in the local populations. This study focused on Lespedeza cuneata var. cuneata...

Strain-specific transcriptional responses overshadow salinity effects in a marine diatom sampled along the Baltic Sea salinity cline
The salinity gradient separating marine and freshwater environments represents a major ecological divide for microbiota, yet the mechanisms by which...

A comparative study of population genetic structure reveals patterns consistent with selection at functional microsatellites in common sunflower
Microsatellites, also known as short tandem repeats (STRs), have long been considered non-functional, neutrally evolving regions of the genome....

Genetic origin of two Italian provenances I11 and I15 compared to possible eight American IUFRO provenances of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) from North America
In IUFRO experimental plots of 1969–1970, two 'Italian' provenances, I11 and I15, of unknown genetic origins, have consistently exhibited remarkable...

Bronze age Northern Eurasian genetics in the context of development of metallurgy and Siberian ancestry
The Eurasian Bronze Age (BA) has been described as a period of substantial human migrations, the emergence of pastoralism, horse domestication, and...

Natural clines and human management impact the genetic structure of Algerian honey bee populations
BackgroundThe Algerian honey bee population is composed of two described subspecies A. m. intermissa and A. m. sahariensis , of which little is known...

Genetic evidence for a single founding population of the Lakshadweep Islands
Lakshadweep is an archipelago of 36 islands located in the Southeastern Arabian Sea. In the absence of a detailed archaeological record, the human...

Genetic structure and north-south decrease of genetic diversity in the Patagonian maqui berry (Aristotelia chilensis [Molina] Stuntz): implications for its conservation and use
Maqui ( Aristotelia chilensis ) is a small tree endemic to Patagonia. It is currently being actively domesticated for its edible berries, which have...

Comparative phylogeography of a bathymetrically segregated pair of sister taxa of rockfishes (genus Sebastes): black rockfish, Sebastes melanops, and yellowtail rockfish, Sebastes flavidus
Twelve pairs of sister taxa in the speciose rockfish genus, Sebastes , overlap coastal distributions but are bathymetrically segregated. These pairs...

Genetic surfing during the range expansion of an endangered large carnivore
In an effort to halt the global decline of large carnivores, reintroductions have become increasingly popular to establish satellite populations and...

Species differentiation in two closely related Neotropical rodents across a transition zone between ecoregions
Cline variation in ecoregion transition zones can provide strong evidence for adaptation to different environments. We describe the geographical...

Genetic and phenotypic diversification in a widespread fish, the Sailfin Molly (Poecilia latipinna)
Widespread species often experience significant environmental clines over the area they naturally occupy. We investigated a widespread livebearing...

Assessing genetic diversity patterns at neutral and adaptive loci to inform population reinforcement of an endangered migratory vulture
One of the primary goals of conservation translocation programs should be the maintenance of both population demographic stability and genetic...
