Parallel studies exist for small mammals. Workers include Jerry Wolff Marita Sheridan Robert Tamarin Gail Michener John(?) Hoogland Paul Sherman The journal Behav Ecol Sociobiol has several of these papers. My chapter in the 1990 book "LIVING IN A PATCHY ENVIRONMENT" reviews this literature for house mice. Vincent Bauchau, Janice Britton-Davidian are examining experimentally and descriptively how/if Robertsonian translocations influence mating relations in house mice. Zuleyma Halpin and Diane Chepko Sade edited a book (1986?) dealing with this topic. Of course the Yanomama and other anthropological genetics literature might also be cited. Usually forgotten is that gene flow might cause greater genetic differentiation when kin groups disperse together. I searched for evidence of kin group migration in Mus, but found no example in literature and collected no such data when studying movements of house mice. Forgot: to above list add Jim Patton, Joanne Daly. Ann Eileen Miller Baker Department of Biology Colorado State University Fort Collins 80523 303 491 5307 aebaker@csugreen
