Genetic Consequences Of Mammalian Social Structure, Jay F. Storz
Genetic Consequences Of Mammalian Social Structure, Jay F. Storz
Jay F. Storz Publications
Populations of social mammals are characterized by several demographic features that may increase the magnitude of genetic drift relative to other evolutionary forces. In particular, polygynous mating and socially mediated constraints on gene flow have been proposed to foster random genetic differentiation among social groups, thereby accelerating rates of evolutionary change. To evaluate this hypothesized link between sociality and genetic sub- division, I examined results of published studies of mammalian populations in which genetic structuring was assessed at the level of social groups. Population genetic data from a taxonomically diverse array of social mammals revealed low to moderately high levels …

Order Chiroptera, Family Pteropodidae, Subfamily Pteropodinae, Tribe Cynopterini, Subtribe Cynopterina, Genus Cynopterus. Five species are recognized: C. brachyotis, C. horsfieldi, C. nusatenggara, C. sphinx, and C. titthaecheileus (Koopman, 1993). A key to the species is given in Lekagul and McNeely (1977).
