Recent population expansion and increased migration linked to urbanization are assumed to be eroding the genetic structure of human populations. We investigated change in population structure over three generations by analysing both demographic and m... Read More about Is urbanization scrambling the genetic structure of human populations?

Low Y chromosome variation in Saudi-Arabian hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas) (2006)
Journal Article
Lawson Handley, L. J., Hammond, R. L., Emaresi, G., Reber, A., & Perrin, N. (2006). Low Y chromosome variation in Saudi-Arabian hamadryas baboons (Papio hamadryas hamadryas). Heredity, 96(4), 298-303. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.hdy.6800803

It is important to characterise the amount of variation on the mammalian Y chromosome in order to assess its potential for use in evolutionary studies. We report very low levels of polymorphism on the Y chromosome of Saudi-Arabian hamadryas baboons,...

Genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate (2006)
Journal Article
Hammond, R. L., Handley, L. J. L., Winney, B. J., Bruford, M. W., & Perrin, N. (2006). Genetic evidence for female-biased dispersal and gene flow in a polygynous primate. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1585), 479-484. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2005.3257

Many models of sex-biased dispersal predict that the direction of sex-bias depends upon a species' mating system. In agreement with this, almost all polygynous mammals show male-biased dispersal whereas largely monogamous birds show female-biased dis...
