題目: Equilibrium and non-equilibrium population genetics and ecological community structure

摘要: The assumption of migration/drift equilibrium has been applied to divergence between separated communities at the level of population genetics, and at the level of between-community similarity. This equilibrium assumption has been especially harmful in population genetics, making even the most advanced coalescent methods difficult to interpret. We tested the equilibrium prediction of “distance decay” in a Peruvian rain forest, comparing results for population genetics and community similarity along the same transect.
