InSTREAM-Gen: Modelling eco-evolutionary dynamics of trout populations under anthropogenic environmental change
Daniel Ayllón,Steven F. Railsback,Simone Vincenzi,Simone Vincenzi,Jürgen Groeneveld,Ana Almodóvar,Volker Grimm,Volker Grimm +7 more
TL;DR: A spatially explicit eco-genetic individual-based model, inSTREAM-Gen, to predict the eco-evolutionary dynamics of stream-dwelling trout under anthropogenic environmental change, which demonstrates critical elements of next generation ecological modelling aiming at predictions in a changing world as it accounts for spatial and temporal resource heterogeneity.

Structure of genetic diversity among common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) varieties of Mesoamerican and Andean origins using new developed microsatellite markers
Luciana Lasry Benchimol,Tatiana de Campos,Sérgio Augusto Morais Carbonell,Carlos Augusto Colombo,Alisson Fernando Chioratto,Eduardo Fernandes Formighieri,Lígia Regina Lima Gouvêa,Anete Pereira de Souza +7 more
TL;DR: Cluster and principal coordinate analysis of the microsatellite data were consistent with the original assignment of the germplasm accessions into the Andean and Mesoamerican gene pools of common bean and could be associated with the domestication process.
Confirmation of subtle motor changes among presymptomatic carriers of the Huntington disease gene.
Sandra Close Kirkwood,Eric Siemers,Cherie E. Bond,P. Michael Conneally,Joe C. Christian,Tatiana Foroud +5 more
TL;DR: Subtle changes in motor function, speed of movement, and reaction time are present in HD gene carriers who do not exhibit definite choreiform movements andWho do not have sufficient signs to make a clinical diagnosis of HD.

Genetic variation and quantitative trait loci associated with developmental stability and the environmental correlation between traits in maize
TL;DR: It is found that, when estimating variances and correlations and testing their homogeneity, estimates and tests are needed that are not highly dependent on normality assumptions.
Exploring Boundaries for the Genetic Consequences of Assortative Mating for Psychiatric Traits.
TL;DR: The modeling suggests that the heritabilities of psychiatric disorders are unlikely to increase by more than 5% from 1 generation of assortative mating (maximally 13% across multiple generations), and the population prevalence will increase most for less common disorders with high heritability.
