The migration of Pacific salmon from the ocean to their natal streams to spawn is a behavior that assures maturing adults a high probability of finding appropriate freshwater spawning habitat. Anyone with a serious interest in the math of evolutionary genetics should probably track down Crow and Kimura's “An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory” (ISBN 1-93284-612-3). Accurate homing behavior results in . Lewontin, Richard Charles (1929-), an American evolutionary geneticist, introduced the study of molecular population genetics in the 1960's. Could be stuff we already know but what the heck.. Evolutionary theory predicts that organisms should evolve the ability to produce high fitness phenotypes in the face of environmental disturbances (environmental robustness) or genetic mutations (genetic robustness). Organisms are faced with the challenge of functioning and reproducing in the midst of both internal and external perturbations. Entries provide an introduction to broad fields such as Applied Ecology, Behavioral Ecology, Computational Ecology, Ecosystem Ecology, Epidemiology and Epidemic Modeling, Population Ecology, Spatial Ecology and Statistics in Ecology. Genetic drift is opposed by dispersal between populations. The increasing human influence on earth ecosystems may cause major alterations of patterns of genetic exchange between populations and species [1]. Crow JF, Kimura M: An Introduction to Population Genetics Theory. (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1996). While spouse correlations have been documented for numerous traits, no prior studies have assessed assortative mating for genetic ancestry in admixed populations. Default Introduction to Population Genetics - Lynn Jorde (2012). Allele frequencies can therefore be used to study population structure, and have been used to define conservation units (e.g., Myers et al.
