A Triplet Maternity in a Reduced Population with Excessive Twinning
In 1991 a triplet maternity of same-sex (FFF) occurred in a depopulated community of Argyll, Scotland, with a history of excessive, same-sex twinning. Due to a stillbirth and its confidentiality, the maternity was recorded as a twin birth. Using public registers may result in underestimation of rates for higher multiple conceptions and births in local districts.

Depopulation and Household Dynamics in Colonsay (Inner Hebrides)
This article analyses the household dynamics in Colonsay during the severe depopulation of 1841–1891. The nineteenth century dynamics are then related to the twentieth century community as it now exists. The Colonsay history of crisis is compared to European examples as impetus towards any theory and model of community decline and future

Excessive twinning in a rural American genealogy
A family record of 1693 descendants in rural Missouri exhibits a twinning rate of 2 X 2%. Weinberg's Differential Rule estimates the level of monozygosity in this twin sample at 61-83%, unlike previous results dominated by dizygosity . These historical data cannot directly support a genetic basis for monozygosity though. Clinical studies seem the best solution to the genetics of twinning
Economic and demographic consequences of population decline: Colonsay and Jura, 1841–91
Population decline is the dominant trend in the recent history of the Scottish High lands and Islands, with emigration its most obvious component.! The decisions of inhabitants to leave their homes, whether voluntary or forced, have produced a remarkable number of literary and historical accounts. The human biologist as population geneticist, though, would see emigration as just one part of the multicomponent system that is human adaptation. Pop…

Population structure of depreciated communities: I. the 1977 genetic demographies of colonsay and Jura Islands, the Scottish Inner Hebrides
This report compares the 1977 genetic demographies of Colonsay and Jura, adjacent yet isolated islands of the Scottish Inner Hebrides. Completed family analyses demonstrated that the residents of Colonsay have higher fertility, shorter generation length, and longer female reproduction span than those of Jura. Based on oral genealogies of five to six generations, the natives of Jura had a higher inbreeding coefficient (f= 0.0044) than did those of…
