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

Example sentence(s):
  • Biologista lajia vastaa ’meemiteoriassa’ toisiinsa liittyvien ihmisten deemi. Hull käyttää deemi -käsitettä alun perin tieteellisen tutkimusryhmän ominaisuutena. Yleistäen sitä voidaan käyttää kuvaamaan mitä tahansa ihmisryhmää, joka jakaa keskenään tietyn meemistön ja vastaavasti rajaa uskomustensa ulkopuolelle joukon toisia meemejä - Nexus Delfix network environment  
  • Deemit kuten lajitkin poikkeavat toisistaan monin tavoin. Yhdessä ne muodostavat olennaisen osan toistensa ympäristöä, jota voi tarkastella kulttuuriekologisena kokonaisuutena, jossa jokaisella meemillä ja deemillä on paikkansa (Ylikoski 1992). - Nexus Delfix network environment  
  • Ympäristöjen vaihtelusta seuraa, että myös valintaympäristö vaihtelee – luonnonvalinta on ainakin joltain osin erilaista eri paikoilla. Erilaisen valinnan seurauksena ilmiasultaan erilaiset muodot ovat valinnan suosimia ja ne yleistyvät omissa osapopulaatioissaan eli deemeissä. - www.tieteessatapahtuu.fi
