“…In Alandroal, Juromenha, Elvas, Vila Boim, and Terena negative nonrandom coefficients (Fn) were found in both periods. For other ranges of years prior to and after the two defined here, Román-Busto and Fuster (2015) reported similar values for Fn in Olivenza. Despite the fact that the temporal range in that study was…”

“…With Olivenza being a military garrison, the negative F n may be explained by lack of interest in consanguineous unions (Román-Busto et al 2010;Román-Busto and Fuster 2015). An equivalent lack of preference for these types of marriages was In the region under study, the municipalities would be the reproductive unit given the ease of movement among the parishes (inferior territorial unit) that form them.…”

“…The bio-demographic consequences of the change of domain in Olivenza were considered in a long term research project which has resulted in a set of previous papers (Fuster et al 2007;Guardado-Moreira et al 2009;Román-Busto et al 2010;Román-Busto and Fuster 2015). The importance of political borders as factors limiting the gene flow has been previously indicated by Boldsen and Lasker (1996) with regard to the Danish-German border; by Macbeth et al, (1996) in the Cerdanya valley between France and Spain and by Abade (1992) and Eizaguirre (1994) in the north-western Spanish-Portuguese border.…”

“…Nevertheless, in Belgium, in spite of the inexistence of geographic barriers, the isolation between the population of the same country is due to languages, emphasizing the importance of languages as genetic filters (Barrai et al, 2004). In Andor Olivenza (Spanish city that used to be part of Portugal) migration from Portugal has also been found (Román-Busto & Fuster, 2015).…”

The Geography as a Regulator of Genetic Flow and Genetic Structure in Andorra

The Principality of Andorra is one of the smallest states in Europe. Traditionally its economy has been based on the agriculture and cattle ranch although in the last decades it has developed an important tourist activity that has become a collector of emigrants. The origin of marriage consorts has been analyzed in the six parishes that have traditionally constituted the Principality. In total, there have been 10,208 marriages covering a continuous period from 1606 to 1960. From this information, two migration matrices have been constructed, one general and one intra-population. The study of the first one shows the existence of a male migration to long distance, mainly from the nearby Catalan provinces. It also shows that the main parameter that regulates migration is geography and that it indirectly defines the language's performance and political boundaries as the genetic filters. For the study of the intrapopulation matrix, two methods have been used. On the one hand, a tree has been constructed and has been linked to Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Different matrices have also been tested by applying the Mantel test. The results indicate that there is no asymmetry in the mobility of men and women in an intra-population level, a result that is justified by the demographic and social structure of the small population centers of the Pyrenees. It is also shown that geography is the main governing factor travel within the Principality. And finally, we can observe the existence of a genetic substructure in the Andorran population marked again by geography.

Surnames in south-eastern France: structure of the rural population during the 19th century through isonymy

et al. 2021

An analysis of the distribution of surnames through time and space allows us to understand the structure of human groups, their exchanges or even their possible isolation. The French population has already been studied through surnames and it has been shown that the Sud-Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region differed from the rest of France in both the 20th and 21st centuries (Mourrieras et al., 1995; Scapoli et al., 2005). The objective of this study was to understand the population evolution and particularities of the Sud-Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region through an analysis of the distribution of surnames over an earlier period: the 19th century. For this work, 806,069 birth records from 521 communes between 1810 and 1890 were recorded and a total of 23,340 surnames were collected. The estimation of various isonymic parameters has allowed a description of this corpus never exploited before. In order to appreciate the population evolution, the data set was divided into three periods of 25 years. The canton was the geographical unit of this study, and similarities and differences between each of them were evaluated using Lasker distances, which allow the construction of dendrograms. A positive and significant correlation (p<0.0001) was found between Lasker distances and geographical distances using the Mantel test. The lowest inbreeding estimates were found in the Durance Valley. Migration, estimated from the v-index of Karlin and McGregor (1967), showed higher values in the south-western quarter of the region. The decrease in Rst values across the three periods is consistent with a homogenization of the patronymic between the cantons. This three-period approach showed a population evolution influenced by linguistic, cultural, historical and migratory phenomena since the Middle Ages, disrupted by the socioeconomic changes of the 19th century.
