Canine Genetics

Understanding the micro evolutionary process that generates community genetic structure of large and highly wireless carnivoran mammals is vital for advancing our information of the mechanisms of their adaptive divergence and speciation. Classical community genetics explains the community genetic structure by species behavioural traits (forming herds, flocks or colonies), geographical features limiting gene flow, such as spatial distance and topographic barriers, or historical factors such as past colonization, variety expansion or isolation in distinct glacial refugia. However, besides geographical limitations and historical events, convoluted environmental processes may leverage the allowance of gene flow amidst populations.(Arnold, 99)

Indeed, an increasing number of ...
