Response Published: We Never Said Wright was Wrong
We have published a response to recent commentary on our polyploid genetics research in salmonid fishes.
Our brief reply, “Response to May and Delany: We Never Said Wright was Wrong,” appears in the Journal of Heredity. This correspondence addresses the critique by May and Delany of our earlier collaborative paper on the effects of crossovers between homeologs in polyploid-derived salmonid fishes.
About the Response
The response clarifies key points from our original research and addresses misconceptions raised in the commentary. We appreciate the opportunity for scientific dialogue and the chance to further elaborate on our findings regarding polyploid inheritance patterns.
Context
This exchange highlights the ongoing scientific discussion about: - Interpretation of Wright’s theoretical framework in polyploid systems - The complexity of homeolog pairing in salmonid genomes - Methodological approaches to studying polyploid population genetics
