Many animals reproduce at the same site as their parents, a phenomenon called philopatry.
In some cases, philopatry can be the simple result of geographic isolation or limited …

The computer program identix estimates relatedness in natural populations using multilocus
genotypic data. Queller & Goodnight's (1989) and Lynch & Ritland's (1999) estimators of …

Abstract.— Explaining the extent, causes, and consequences of biotic distributions in space
is fundamental to our understanding of how species evolve and cope with particular …

Self‐incompatibility systems in plants are genetic systems that prevent self‐fertilization in
hermaphrodites through recognition and rejection of pollen expressing the same allelic …

Incompatibility recognition systems preventing self‐fertilization have evolved several times
in independent lineages of Angiosperm plants, and three main model systems are well …

Geographic patterns of genetic diversity depend on a species’ demographic properties in a
given habitat, which may change over time. The rates at which patterns of diversity respond …

Recently diverged species typically have incomplete reproductive barriers, allowing
introgression of genetic material from one species into the genomic background of the other. The …

• Arabidopsis halleri is a pseudometallophyte involved in numerous molecular studies of the
adaptation to anthropogenic metal stress. In order to test the representativeness of genetic …

A recent investigation found evidence that the transition of Arabidopsis thaliana from ancestral
self-incompatibility (SI) to full self-compatibility occurred very recently and suggested that …

• We estimated the level of quantitative polymorphism for zinc (Zn) tolerance in neighboring
metallicolous and nonmetallicolous populations of Arabidopsis halleri and tested the …
