Migration distance rather than migration rate explains genetic diversity in human patrilocal groups.

Molecular ecology - 1 Oct 2012

Marks Sarah J, Levy Hila, Martinez-Cadenas Conrado, Montinaro Francesco, Capelli Cristian

Abstract excerpt

In patrilocal groups, females preferentially move to join their mate's paternal relatives. The gender-biased gene flow generated by this cultural practice is expected to affect genetic diversity across human populations. Greater female than male migration is predicted to result in a larger decrease in between-group differentiation for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) than for the non-recombining part of the Y chromosome...
