English term or phrase: deme
Definition from Hypermedia Glossary Of Genetic Terms:
A locally interbreeding population.

Example sentence(s):
  • Basically, the virtual world where migrations take place is constituted by a matrix of demes. Each deme has its own environmental characteristics according to the input files. Splatche
  • Key components of this simulation model include: (i) a three layer intra-deme population structure: hunter-gatherers, non-dairying farmers and dairying farmers. (ii) Population genetic simulation of a LP allele under selection, and an undrifted allele signifying general genetic background. (iii) Intra and inter-deme gene flow and sporadic longer distance migration (following a Gaussian random walk process). UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON
  • The application of the island model is limited because it does not in fact contain explicit geography: migrants are equally likely to have come from any deme in the population. Oxford Journals

geïsoleerde subpopulatie


Definition from own experience or research:
Binnen een geïsoleerde subpopulatie kruisen de organismen van een soort onderling maar door de isolatie is er geen uitwisseling met genen buiten de subpopulatie [eigen omschrijving, TM]

Example sentence(s):
Explanation:
Deze vertaling werd gegeven door:
Prof. dr. Louise E.M. Vet
Professor in Evolutionary Ecology
Director Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW)
Zij gaf het volgende antwoord op mijn vraag:
"er is niet een heel goede korte vertaling van [deme] maar in de ecologie bedoelen we dan een geisoleerde sub-populatie".
Waarschijnlijk omdat het antwoord al een omschrijving inhoudt, kon ik geen echt goede voorbeeldzinnen met definities vinden op internet, maar over de deskundigheid van de bron is volgens mij geen enkele twijfel mogelijk.
