Global patterns of human mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosome structure are not influenced by higher migration rates of females versus males.

Nature genetics - 1 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

Global-scale patterns of human population structure may be influenced by the rate of migration among populations that is nearly eight times higher for females than for males. This difference is attributed mainly to the widespread practice of patrilocality, in which women move into their mates' residences after marriage. Here we directly test this hypothesis by comparing global patterns of DNA sequence variation...
