The word "demes" in example sentences

A very different result emerges if one assumes that groups of organisms such as demes, kin-groups, or species, though not individuals, are nevertheless subject to selection. ❋ Lennox, James (2004)

He constructed a model with populations subdivided into numerous, semi-isolated subpopulations, or demes, in which spontaneous chromosome rearrangements with heterozygote disadvantage occur. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Hedrick and Levin 1984 suggested a mechanism that greatly increases the probability of fixation for negatively heterotic chromosome rearrangements during migration and colonization of other demes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In addition, the model included random extinction and colonization of demes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

For this process, the fixation rate in a species composed of many semi-isolated demes is approximately equal to the rate of establishment of new gene arrangements in a single one of its demes. ❋ Unknown (2010)

If the group joins another existing group, given that most demes are small, the newcomers may compose a significant percentage of the combined deme. ❋ Unknown (2010)

All of the things you noted the deme with the new allele could split and form a new deme by colonization, or a lot of them could migrate into an existing deme with few members, etc would be just as likely to occur for demes with the old allele; and there are many more of them. ❋ Unknown (2009)

All of the things you noted the deme with the new allele could split and form a new deme by colonization, or a lot of them could migrate into an existing deme with few members, etc would be just as likely to occur for demes with the old allele; ❋ Unknown (2009)

If there is no advantage to having the fused chromosome over having two separate ones, and if only one deme out of a meta population of several demes has fixed the fused chromosome, then it seems to me the probability of fixation of the fused form in the whole population from that point on (i.e., once it became fixed in one deme) would be proportional to the 1/(# of demes). ❋ Unknown (2009)
