Ecological consequences of genetic diversity

Genetic diversity is most often characterized using data that depict variation in either discrete allelic states or continuously distributed (i.e. quantitative) characters, which lead to different possible metrics of genetic diversity (Table 1). The variation in allelic states or phenotypic traits m ...

Waterfalls drive parallel evolution in a freshwater goby

Here, parallel evolution was studied by focusing on waterfall and the landlocked freshwater goby Rhinogobius sp. YB (YB), which evolved from amphidromous R. brunn ...
