Population Genetics of Cuba’s Scleractinian Corals
Cuba’s coasts support a large area of diverse and relatively healthy coral communities that are centrally located at the interface of the northern...

Population Genetics
In this Chapter, we will discuss genetic variation in the context to of a population. We will explore the concepts of polymorphisms, gene pool and...

Is Population Genetics Really Relevant to Evolutionary Biology?
The goal of evolutionary biology is to explain the diversity of the entire sweep of the natural world; population biology only examines tiny slices...

Introduction to Genetics
Genetics is the branch of biology that studies genes, which are the entities responsible for inheritance. Since inheritance is a process in which...

Comparative population genetics of habitat-forming octocorals in two marine protected areas: eco-evolutionary and management implications
Current efforts to halt the decline of biodiversity are based primarily on protecting species richness. This narrow focus overlooks key components of...

Urban environment determines population genetics in the green toad, Bufotes viridis
Heavily urbanized areas can hinder dispersal and gene flow between amphibian populations. Given the growth potential of urbanization, it is important...
