Physical separation of the wild and cultivar is recommended since it could reduce possible
gene flow which, as other studies have shown, can result in hybridization, loss of genetic diversity or even extinction of the wild type (Ellstrand et al.
In addition to
gene flow through adult migration, marine fish frequently have a planktonic larval stage of several months duration, which can be expected to further enhance
gene flow.
Baer (14) has argued that a genetic analysis of
gene flow in 34
The Sumgayit region also acts as an ecological sink, with levels of
gene flow into the region exceeding
gene flow out of the region.
Government researchers monitored the
gene flow from Bayer's herbicide-resistant GM oilseed rape to related wild plants during farm-scale evaluations of GM crops.
Changes in gene frequency brought about by random genetic drift,
gene flow, and natural selection lead to the evolution of populations.

Gene Flow from Biotechnology-derived Crops: Policy and Research Considerations; a conference and special publication, Water Quality and Quantity Issues for Perennial Grasses Used in the Urban Landscapes of North America; and a symposium and special publication.
2001) and with the hypothesis that significant
gene flow occurs at one or more life-history stages (Goodyear 1995; Gold & Richardson 1998a).
Secondly, by reducing domestic
gene flow, wild populations would continue to evolve within their contemporary environment.
A high
gene flow between the two populations of Taiwan's
These differences in mobility could have had significant effects on the
gene flow within and between populations.
Two studies have shown that many of the
gene flow claims made by those opposed to GM technology have been over exaggerated, it was claimed yesterday.
