Allozymes in mammalian population genetics and systematics: Indicative function of a marker system reconsidered

Genetic Diversity among Clinical Isolates of Candida glabrata Analyzed by Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA and Multilocus Enzyme Electrophoresis Analyses

“…The value obtained was 0.11, which was twice that obtained in this work (0.055). However, genetic diversity is influenced by the number of isolates and of loci examined (23,24); particularly, genetic diversity has been negatively correlated with the number of loci investigated (13). Thus, we thought that the average genetic diversity of C. glabrata might have been overestimated because we studied only 11 loci; however, in spite of loci examined, it was lower than that previously reported for C. glabrata (6).…”

Enzyme heterozygosity and developmental stability

“…Among populations of adults, heterozygosity was negatively correlated with fluctuating asymmetry of meristic characters (rg = -0.41, p < 0.05), but not correlated with fluctuating asymmetry of meristic characters. The correlation between genetic variability and fluctuating asymmetry of meristic characters were stronger (juveniles: rs = 0.53, p < 0.01; adults: rs = -0.67, p < 0.01) when genetic variability was estimated with the Shannon-Weaver information index rather than heterozygosity (Hartl et al 1994).…”

“…Enzyme heterozygosity is related to developmental stability in the brown hare Lepus europaeus, in natural populations in Austria (Hartl et al 1994(Hartl et al , 1995. Measurements of fluctuating asymmetry were taken for 27 meristic traits and 9 metric traits from 469 hares taken from 20 populations.…”

“…The study of the European brown hare (Hartl 1994(Hartl , 1995 should serve as a model for future studies of fluctuating asymmetry. It clearly demonstrates that relationships may differ between quantitative and metric characters, and that sampling should be stratified with respect to age class.…”

Mitochondrial DNA differentation in chamois (genus Rupicapra) : implications for taxonomy, conservation, and management

“…Among medium-sized and larger mammals this is not always the case. For example, in a large-scale study on genetic differentiation in the brown hare Lepus europaeus, Hartl et al (1993Hartl et al ( , 1994) detected a total of seven different haplotypes. However, in all populations examined one and the same standard haplotype predominated, while the other haplotypes, each differing from the standard type by but one restriction site gain or loss, respectively, yielded population genetic information only through their geographic distribution.…”
