群落遗传学是群落生态学和进化生物学的综合。它研究了物种内的遗传变异如何影响物种之间的相互作用,从而改变生态群落结构和多样性。近年来,群落遗传学方法的应用得到了极大的扩展,遗传多样性的生态效应的证据也越来越多。当前群体遗传学研究的目标是确定群体遗传效应发生的环境和机制,这是本期特刊论文的重点。我们将一组新的研究人员引入社区遗传学领域。通过实证研究、文献综述和理论发展的结合,我们介绍了新的概念和方法,我们希望这些概念和方法将使我们能够在未来发展社区遗传学。
Community genetics is a synthesis of community ecology and evolutionary biology. It examines how genetic variation within a species affects interactions among species to change ecological community structure and diversity. The use of community genetics approaches has greatly expanded in recent years and the evidence for ecological effects of genetic diversity is growing. The goal of current community genetics research is to determine the circumstances in which, and the mechanisms by which community genetic effects occur and is the focus of the papers in this special issue. We bring a new group of researchers into the community genetics fold. Using a mixture of empirical research, literature reviews and theoretical development, we introduce novel concepts and methods that we hope will enable us to develop community genetics into the future.
