| long-distance gene flow in a cooperative breeder detected in genealogies of mitochondrial dna sequences. | rates of gene flow among populations of cooperatively breeding birds have been inferred primarily from distributions of observed distances of dispersal from birthplace to place of first breeding. however, for most cooperative breeders, characteristics of geographic population structure and extent of realized gene flow as measured by genetic markers are not known. to estimate rates of gene flow in a cooperatively breeding bird, i conducted a continent-wide survey of dna sequence diversity in the ... | 1993 | 8394578 |
