	Genetics - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		The word genetics was first applied to describe the study of inheritance and the science of variation by English scientist William Bateson in a letter to Adam Sedgewick, dated April 18, 1905.
		The foundational discipline is population genetics which studies the distribution of and change in allele frequencies of genes under the influence of the four evolutionary forces: natural selection, genetic drift, mutation and migration.
		While molecular genetics studies the structure and function of genes at a molecular level, ecological genetics focuses on wild populations of organisms, and attempts to collect data on the ecological aspects of individuals as well as molecular markers from those individuals.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Microevolution
		Genetic drift is the term used in population genetics to refer to the statistical drift over time of allele frequencies in a finite population due to random sampling effects in the formation of successive generations.
		Population genetics is the branch of biology that provides the mathematical structure for the study of the process of microevolution.
		Ecological genetics is the study of genetics (itself a field of biology) from an ecological perspective.

	Pringle Laboratory
		Ecological genetics uses genetics to explore the ecology and especially evolution of organisms.
		Ecological geneticists see evolution as a dynamic process that can be observed in nature (for more on ecological genetics see The Ecological Geneticist's Creed on p.
		The Pringle laboratory is dedicated to both the use of fungi as tools ideal for testing and elucidating general principles of ecological genetics, and the translation of biological paradigms to fungi.

	Evolutionary Genetics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Where population genetics tends toward a branch of applied mathematics founded on Mendelian axioms, often with minimal contact with data, ecological genetics is grounded in the reciprocal interaction between mathematical theory and empirical observations from field and laboratory.
		Ecological genetics began at a time when the major theoretical aspects of the Modern Synthesis were in place, when the marvels of adaptation were clear, but when few empirical examples of natural selection in action were available.
		The neutral theory of evolution is the antithesis of ecological genetics.

	What Is Genetics?
		Genetics is the science of genes, heredity, and the variation of organisms.
		Following the discovery that DNA is the genetic material, and with the growth of biotechnology and the project to sequence the human genome, the common usage of the word "gene" has increasingly reflected its meaning in molecular biology.
		The genetic code is a set of rules, which maps DNA sequences to proteins in the living cell, and is employed in the process of protein synthesis.

	Ecological Genetics
		However, ecology and genetics together form the mechanisms of evolutionary change: Ecological interactions or organisms with the biotic and abiotic environment are the context of natural selection -- they determine the phenotype that does the best in a given situation.
		Genetic variability within populations for phenotypic characters that are ecologically important determines the speed and directionality of the response of populations to the selection resulting from ecological interactions.
		Ecological genetics is thus a point of view in which awareness of variability among organisms is involved in the study of all kinds of ecological interactions, both biotic and abiotic.

	Priming for Genetics in Ecology - Science - RedOrbit
		In its modern form, ecological genetics addresses two broad aspects of biology: (1) the genetic basis of ecologically important traits and (2) the ecological and evolutionary processes that influence patterns of genetic variation in and among natural populations.
		Ecological genetics therefore borrows heavily from the conceptual frameworks of population and quantitative genetics, and it represents a powerful and unifying approach for understanding ecological responses and evolution in natural populations.
		Ecologically and evolutionarily relevant forces that influence the extent and patterning of genetic variation are considered both individually and in combination.

	Tamaki Building - Ecological Genetics Laboratory
		The Ecological Genetics laboratory applies DNA technology to a range of environmental research areas, focusing primarily on conservation and pest management.
		Determining the extent and distribution of genetic variation provides precise information that can be used to direct conservation actions - for example, the most genetically diverse and unique populations can be identified, which enables conservation priorities to be determined and proper management set in place.
		The preservation of genetic diversity in endangered species is important because long-term survival depends on species maintaining sufficient genetic variability to facilitate adaptation to new environmental pressures including habitat modification.

	Ecological Genetics of Speciation and Hybridization in African cichlid fish
		Another unresolved problem associated with the rapid emergence of adaptive diversity is the source of genetic variation that endows some lineages with unusually high rates of phenotypic evolution.
		One idea is that hybridization between genetically well differentiated lineages endows hybrid populations with large variation in quantitative traits that allows them to radiate in response to diversifying selection when the opportunity is there, such as in novel or perturbed environments.
		We investigate morphological and ecological diversity generated experimentally by interspecific hybridization, as well as hybrid viability and fertility to experimentally parameterise intrinsic and ecological hybrid fitness and functional hybrid diversity in relation to genomic and ecological distinctiveness of parental species.
