Genetic Divergence and Evolutionary Transition/Transversion Rate Bias in the Control Region of Mitochondrial DNA of Palearctic Mice (Murinae)
AbstractGenetic divergence and evolutionary shift of transitions and transversions ratio were analyzed based on examples of 60 sequences of the mtDNA...

On the Genetic Divergence of Migration-Coupled Populations: Modern Modeling Based on the Experimental Results of Yu.P. Altukhov et al.
AbstractThe possibility of stable differences over a distribution range with homogenous selection appears somewhat paradoxical from the point of view...

Characterization of the genetic variation and evolutionary divergence of the CLEC18 family
BackgroundThe C-type lectin family 18 (CLEC18) with lipid and glycan binding capabilities is important to metabolic regulation and innate immune...

Fine-scale adaptive divergence and population genetic structure of Aedes aegypti in Metropolitan Manila, Philippines
BackgroundThe adaptive divergence of Aedes aegypti populations to heterogeneous environments can be a driving force behind the recent expansion of...

Reproductive strategies and their consequences for divergence, gene flow, and genetic diversity in three taxa of Clarkia
Differences in reproductive strategies can have important implications for macro- and micro-evolutionary processes. We used a comparative approach...

What Darwin could not see: island formation and historical sea levels shape genetic divergence and island biogeography in a coastal marine species
Oceanic islands play a central role in the study of evolution and island biogeography. The Galapagos Islands are one of the most studied oceanic...

Rolling down that mountain: microgeographical adaptive divergence during a fast population expansion along a steep environmental gradient in European beech
Forest tree populations harbour high genetic diversity thanks to large effective population sizes and strong gene flow, allowing them to diversify...

Contrasting environmental drivers of genetic and phenotypic divergence in an Andean poison frog (Epipedobates anthonyi)
Phenotypic and genetic divergence are shaped by the homogenizing effects of gene flow and the differentiating processes of genetic drift and local...

Description of Divergence of Subpopulations in the Hierarchical System When Analyzing Isonymy: I. Variance as an Indicator of Divergence
AbstractMetapopulations typical of human populations with hierarchical subdivision into parts (subpopulations) corresponding to the classification of...

Evolutionary divergence of TLR9 through ancestral sequence reconstruction
The transmembrane pattern recognition receptor, Toll-like receptor (TLR), are best known for their roles in innate immunity via recognition of...

Description of the Divergence of Subpopulations in the Hierarchical System under the Analysis of Isonymy: III. Surname Inbreeding Coefficient
AbstractThe hierarchical structure of metapopulations characteristic of humans with their subdivision into parts (subpopulations), usually classified...

Gene expression and alternative splicing contribute to adaptive divergence of ecotypes
Regulation of gene expression is a critical link between genotype and phenotype explaining substantial heritable variation within species. However,...

Evolution and divergence of the genetic lineage Desmodus rotundus/Artibeus lituratus of rabies virus in São Paulo State
The last record of a rabies case caused by the dog-specific rabies virus (RABV) lineage in dogs or cats in São Paulo State was in 1998. From 2002 to...

Linking genetic, morphological, and behavioural divergence between inland island and mainland deer mice
The island syndrome hypothesis (ISH) stipulates that, as a result of local selection pressures and restricted gene flow, individuals from island...

Detection and genetic analysis of bovine rhinitis B virus in Japan
Bovine rhinitis B virus (BRBV) (genus Aphthovirus , family Picornaviridae ) is a significant etiological agent of the bovine respiratory disease...

Genomic basis of insularity and ecological divergence in barn owls (Tyto alba) of the Canary Islands
Islands, and the particular organisms that populate them, have long fascinated biologists. Due to their isolation, islands offer unique opportunities...

Description of Divergence of Subpopulations in the Hierarchical System under the Analysis of Isonymy. II. Probabilities of Non-Isonymic Encounters
Metapopulations with typical for human populations hierarchical subdivision into parts (subpopulations) are considered, corresponding to...

Ecological divergence despite common mating sites: Genotypes and symbiotypes shed light on cryptic diversity in the black bean aphid species complex
Different host plants represent ecologically dissimilar environments for phytophagous insects. The resulting divergent selection can promote the...
-
Analysis of Random Processes of Isonymy: II. Dynamics of Population Divergence
AbstractRandom dynamics of the surname composition of a population of finite size in discrete time with non-overlap** generations is considered. It...

Divergence and conservation of the meiotic recombination machinery
Sexually reproducing eukaryotes use recombination between homologous chromosomes to promote chromosome segregation during meiosis. Meiotic...
