Natural history and evolution of a color polymorphism in Rana pipiens, the northern leopard frog

Creator:

Hoffman, Eric A.

Abstract:

A primary goal of population genetics is to identify the role of microevolutionary forces in producing observed patterns of molecular and phenotypic variation. I conducted four studies in the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, to determine just how mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection influenced, genetic structure of mitochondrial DNA...

Transferrin variation and population differentiation in black-tailed deer

Creator:

Chinn, Edwin Kan Kit

Abstract:

Transferrin of Columbian black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) displayed two types of polymorphism. One type involved differences in sialic acid content. The nature of the other polymorphism is not known. A hypothesis for three codominant alleles at a common locus was proposed and tested by using the Hardy-Weinberg Principle. The...
