September 23: Ken Hayes - Genetic
diversity and invasion success.
We need to decide on a day and time
for meeting the remainder of the semester and to choose days to present papers.
Lindholm, A. K., F.
Breden, H. J.
Alexander, W-K Chan, S. G. Thakurta, and R. Brooks. 2005. Invasion success and
genetic diversity of introduced populations of guppies Poecilia reticulata
in Australia. Molecular Ecology Online Early Publication 26 Aug.
2005. (PDF)
September 30: Chuong
Tran & Ken Hayes - Evolutionary Genetics and Invasives - There
are two papers this week. The first is a review paper which contains some
interesting material regarding genetic theory as it applies to invasive species.
The second deals with loss of genetic diversity that results in invasion success.
Lee, C. E. 2002. Evolutionary genetics
and invasive species. Trends in Ecology and Evolution 17(8):386-391. (PDF)
Tsutsui, N. D., A. V. Suarez, D. A.
Haloway, and T. J. Case. 2000. Reduced genetic variation and the success of an
invasive species. Proceedings of the National Academy of Science
97(11):5948-5953. (PDF)
Further Reading: These are two papers
that are related to the discussion topic of the first two weeks. The first is on invasion success
and genetic diversity, and the other is a simulation study to investigate mechanisms
(epistasis versus dominance) acting to increase genetic variance after a
bottleneck.. I am posting them here just for further reading, but if anyone really wants to discuss
them we can.
Kolbe, J. J., R. E.

October 7: Jenny Schultz - Giant
tortoises and diversification on an oceanic island.

not so slow: Rapid diversification and biogeographic consensus in the
Galapagos. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
101(17):6514-6519. (PDF)
Further Reading: At this week's
discussion their were questions regarding SSCP and how it is done. So, I've put
up two papers that give some more details. The first is the paper that
originally described SSCP (or at least one of the first) and the other is a more
recent paper that applies it to mtDNA as this week's paper did.
