Negative frequency-dependent selection on polymorphic color morphs in adders

Thomas Madsen et al.

Summary: Color pattern polymorphism refers to the existence of multiple forms within the same population. Negative frequency-dependent selection has been proposed as a powerful force in maintaining phenotypic and genetic diversity. This study provides evidence that the color pattern polymorphism in a population of adders is maintained by negative frequency-dependent natural selection.

Strongly deleterious mutations are a primary determinant of extinction risk due to inbreeding depression

Christopher C. Kyriazis et al.

Summary: Human-driven habitat fragmentation and loss have resulted in small and isolated plant and animal populations facing high risk of extinction, mainly due to inbreeding depression. While the traditional approach for managing these populations involves maintaining high genetic diversity, recent research suggests that minimizing strongly deleterious variation may be more important in reducing extinction risk.

The inflated significance of neutral genetic diversity in conservation genetics

Joao C. Teixeira et al.

Summary: Conservation genetics aims to evaluate population health and extinction risk based on genetic diversity levels, but neutral genetic diversity is not the only factor affecting species extinction risk. A deeper understanding of functional genetic diversity, demographic history, and ecological relationships is necessary for developing effective conservation genetic strategies.

Within-trio tests provide little support for post-copulatory selection on major histocompatibility complex haplotypes in a free-living population

W. Huang et al.

Summary: By studying parent-offspring trios of MHCII genes in a wild population of sheep, it was found that there may not be strong post-copulatory selection at the diplotype level, but there were signs of transmission ratio distortion in certain haplotypes.
