High neighbourhood genetic relatedness has been shown to interact with density to increase the proportion of aborted fruit in the insect pollinated tropical tree Jacaranda copaia [41], which supports our hypothesis that genetic processes contribute to the trade-off between flower size and pollination success (Fig. 1).
Thus, the extent to which neutral (DMI accumulation) and selective (coevolution) genetic processes contribute to the formation of species remains unclear.
We also attempted to quantify migration and/or introgression rates between the previously isolated northern and southern EPR populations to disentangle the effects of selective and demographic processes contributing to the genetic break.
Our approach will facilitate the understanding of admixture mechanisms, illustrating how the moments of the distribution of admixture proportions can be informative about the historical admixture processes contributing to the genetic diversity of hybrid populations.
We were particularly interested in the biogeographic context and the demographic processes contributing to the formation and integrity of stable genetic sectors in NW Iberian F. ceranoides.
Several genetic and epigenetic processes contribute to the silencing of tumour suppressor genes, including loss of genetic materials, mutation, promoter methylation, histone acetylation and post-transcriptional regulation by micro RNAs, etc. Loss of heterozygosity and deletion of chromosome 5p13, where DAB2 is located, is uncommon in NPC according to our previous studies [ 29- 31].
Description: An integrated approach to the diversity of life, emphasizing how chemical, physical, genetic, ecological and geologic processes contribute to the origin and maintenance of biological diversity.
We speculate that genetic variations in basic metabolic processes contribute to their different tolerance of hypoxia, which is worth examining in the future.
