Tracking Short-Term Evolution in a Pedigreed Wild Population
Explore a comprehensive lecture on tracking short-term evolution in a pedigreed wild population. Delve into the study of evolutionary processes that change allele frequencies, focusing on population pedigrees as a direct observation method. Learn about long-term demographic studies, particularly at Archbold Biological Station, and examine population genetics with pedigrees in contemporary evolution. Analyze the differences in genetic variation between autosomes and sex chromosomes, and understand genealogical and genetic contributions over time. Investigate sex-biased transmission, demography, and their effects on short-term evolution. Discover selection component analysis and its application in testing for selection at various life-cycle stages. Examine evidence of sexual conflict, life-history trade-offs, and factors influencing lifetime reproductive success. Gain insights into understanding short-term evolution in natural populations through this in-depth 54-minute presentation by Nancy Chen, part of the EvoEcoSeminars series. Read more
