Fitness and microsatellite diversity estimates were not correlated in two outbred anuran populations

Article Abstract:

Larval fitness traits have been studied in two anuran species under uncontrolled laboratory conditions, and allelic diversity was measured in the same individuals at five and seven microsatellite loci. Fitness and microsatellite diversity estimates did not correlate in the two populations, which were outbred. The species were Bufo calamita and Rana temporaria, the common frog.

Fine-scale genetic structure and gene flow within Costa Rican populations of mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla)

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on Costa Rican populations of mahogany Swietenia macrophylla. The authors describe the analysis of fine-scale structure of genetic diversity and gene flow in these populations, and demonstrate that the removal of the diversity can lead to the difficult recovery via seeds and pollen dispersal.

Signatures of selection? Patterns of microsatellite diversity of a chromosome containing a selected locus

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on cattle breeds' genetic diversity. The authors have analyzed population genetic parameters for the microsatellite loci in double-muscled and non-double-muscled cattle breeds in investigating genetic diversity petterns, and they present the results.
