Why is genetic diversity important? How do important factors in evolution (genetic drift, gene flow, mutation, natural selection) impact genetic diversity?
Imagine an isolated population. How is genetic variation likely to change over time?
Females and males often have markedly different mortality rates and life spans, but it is unclear why these forms of sexual dimorphism evolve. The unguarded X hypothesis contends that dimorphic life spans arise from sex differences in X or Z …
