  1. ncbi Sex increases the efficacy of natural selection in experimental yeast populations
    Matthew R Goddard
    NERC Centre for Population Biology and Department of Biological Sciences, Imperial College London, Silwood Park Campus, Ascot SL5 7PY, UK
    Nature 434:636-40. 2005
    ..We show that, as predicted by the theory, sex increases the rate of adaptation to a new harsh environment but has no measurable effect on fitness in a new benign environment where there is little selection...

    Matthew R Goddard
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, New Zealand National Environment Research Council Centre for Population Biology, Imperial College, London, United Kingdom
    PLoS ONE 1:e3. 2006
    ..Although HEGs are found in a variety of microbes, we found the previous discovery of this type of selfish genetic element in the mitochondria of a sea anemone surprising...

    Matthew R Goddard
    The School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
    Environ Microbiol 12:63-73. 2010
    ..It seems some strains have been globally dispersed by humans in oak barrels while some are locally vectored by insects. These data suggest geography is more important than ecology in shaping S. cerevisiae's population structure...
  5. ncbi Population genetics of the wild yeast Saccharomyces paradoxus

    Genetics 166:43-52. 2004
    ..1% on the basis of heterozygosity. Thus, all three modes of reproduction known in the lab (clonal replication, inbreeding, and outcrossing) have been important in molding genetic variation in this species...

    Vassiliki Koufopanou
    Department of Biology, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot, Berkshire, UK

    Hanyao Zhang
    School of Biological Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand
    FEMS Yeast Res 10:941-7. 2010
