TESTING FOR EPISTASIS BETWEEN DELETERIOUS MUTATIONS IN A PARASITOID WASP (2003)

Ana Rivero, Francois Balloux, Stuart A. West

Determining the way in which deleterious mutations interact to effect fitness is crucial to numerous areas in evolutionary biology. For example, if each additional mutation leads to a greater...

SEX-BIASED DISPERSAL IN A MIGRATORY BAT: A CHARACTERIZATION USING SEX-SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC PARAMETERS (2001)

Eric Petit, Francois Balloux, Jerome Goudet

We studied the noctule bat (Nyctalus noctula), in which the mitochondrial FST is about 10 times that revealed by nuclear markers, to address two questions. We first verified whether random dispersal...
