Life history traits and dispersal shape neutral genetic diversity in metapopulations (Q2133944): Difference between revisions

It makes sense to assume and study the life-history traits (or life events), population dynamics, and local and global environmental factors influencing genetic diversity in relation to species maturation over time. This manuscript has aimed to model the relationship of life-history traits, maturation, and genetic diversity dispersion. As there is difference between the local level and the global levels, it is important to explore what life-history traits during what time period would contribute to the difference. In this study, the authors have used roughly 3 types of life-history traits, namely survival probability, maturation probability, and fecundity, with 4 classes, namely precocious semelparity, precocious iteroparity, delayed semelparity, and delayed iteroparity. As all species might have different timelines, it is unclear if the authors have applied and verified this model to all humans, animals, and plants over time. Can we draw the conclusion to aid the genetic diversity policy such as: 1) the whole population to reproduce before the maturity; 2) some (what is the proportion?) of the population reproduce before the maturity; 3) the whole population to reproduce after the maturity (how much delayed?). How do these 3 different scenarios present genetic diversity at what magnitude between the local and global environments?
