Evolutionary biology Mid‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy. If you would like to participate, there are some suggestions on this page (see also Wikipedia:Contributing FAQ for more information) or visit WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biologyWikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyTemplate:WikiProject Evolutionary biologyEvolutionary biology articles

Moved from article:

The example of the Irish potato famine is appropriate; however, the statement that this disease (blight) was caused by a virus is incorrect. There is abundant and consistent evidence that the potato disease responsible for the famine was caused by Phytophthora infestans (1), formely classified as a fungus, but now placed in the Kingdom Stramenopila, Phylum Oomycota, Class Oomycetes, Order Perenosporales, and Family Pythiaceae (2). This new classification includes the genus Phytophthora and other Oomycetes, the brown algae (giant kelps), the diatoms, the yellow-green algae, and the golden-brown algae. There is, to the best of my knowledge, no convincing evidence that the Irish potato famine was caused by a virus.

Merge

---DO NOT MOVE---

Genetic Diversity is the difference of animals in the same species, while genetic variation is the difference between SIMILAR species!

No, that's not what genetic variation is. Please sign comments. Richard001 06:27, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Genetic variation

Genetic variation has now been redirected here, but there is no mention of the word. What sort of a merge is this? Richard001 (talk) 08:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Genetic variability

Consider merging this article with genetic variability since the concepts are very close and it's not always clear when to link to the diversity or variability page. Proposed name for the merged page: genetic variation. – SteveChervitzTrutane (talk) 09:34, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Whats the oppoiste of genetic diversity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.23.240.86 (talk) 23:42, 9 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Importance of Genetic Diversity with Mammals

1. Consider adding some examples of low genetic diversity with mammals (i.e. cheetahs) 2. Consider talking about the importance of maintaining genetic diversity with mammals. (low population and generation times) 3. Also adding factors that lead to low genetic diversity in mammals. As an educational effort for conservation biology of mammals.

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Genetic diversity. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20110225072641/http://www.nbii.gov:80/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=405&PageID=0&cached=true&mode=2&userID=2 to http://www.nbii.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&objID=405&PageID=0&cached=true&mode=2&userID=2

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I plan to upload the changes to the article I made in my sandbox. Aharveypdx (talk) 19:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I made the following edits.

Added section for Neutral and adaptive genetic diversity.

Re-used existing reference.

Added re-used citation..

Added equations for measurements of adaptive genetic variation..

Added information about traits related to adaptive genes and rate of adaptive gene evolution..

Corrected equation for adaptive population differentiation.

Added link to Genetic variance under See also.

Added link to Conservation biology.

Added links to genetic diversity and mutation load pages..

Added link to QST (genetics) under See also.
