Inferring gene flow in coral reef fishes from different molecular markers: which loci to trust

Article Abstract:

A study to derive the theoretical variance of a single locus [F.sub.ST] estimates expected under neutrality in order to exclude outlier loci before inferring gene flow is presented. Result show how cautious we have to be when you interpret present-day genetic structure in terms of gene flow while using a limited number of loci or different set of loci.

Fine-scale population differentiation and gene flow in a terrestrial salamander (Plethodon cinereus) living in continuous habitat

Article Abstract:

Genetic differentiation is studied of red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) across a 2-km transect through continuous forest in Virginia. Differentiation is found to be closely related with distance and both Mantel tests and assignment tests are found to be consistent with an isolation-by-distance model for the population.

The role of swarming sites for maintaining gene flow in the brown long-eared bat (Plecotus auritus)

Article Abstract:

Bat-swarming sites where thousands of individuals meet in late summer were recently proposed as 'hot spots' for gene flow among populations. It is observed that although there is behavioral and physiological evidence for sexual interaction at swarming sites, this does not explain why mating continues throughout the winter.
