Genomic variation in a widespread Neotropical bird (Xenops minutus) reveals divergence, population expansion, and gene flow [PDF]
(2015) Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 83: 305-316, 2014 Elucidating the demographic and phylogeographic histories of species provides insight into the processes responsible for generating biological diversity, and genomic datasets are now permitting the estimation of histories and demographic parameters with unprecedented accuracy.

Persistent joblessness and fertility intentions
Demographic Research, 2019 Background: The vast majority of demographic studies have approached and operationalised the notion of economic uncertainty using snapshot indicators. Hence, the complexity and diversity of individuals' employment careers were largely hidden.

Contraceptive Use and Intent in Guatemala
Demographic Research, 2010 Guatemala is characterized by low contraceptive use rates and one of the highest fertility rates in the Western Hemisphere. These rates are particularly extreme for the poorest segment of the population and for the indigenous population.

Towards real-time population estimates: introducing Twitter daily estimates of residents and non-residents at the county level [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The study of migrations and mobility has historically been severely limited by the absence of reliable data or the temporal sparsity of the available data. Using geospatial digital trace data, the study of population movements can be much more precisely and dynamically measured.

Genetic diversity in introduced populations with Allee effect [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 A phenomenon that strongly influences the demography of small introduced populations and thereby potentially their genetic diversity is the Allee effect, a reduction in population growth rates at small population sizes. We take a stochastic modeling approach to investigate levels of genetic diversity in populations that successfully overcame a strong ...

The McDonald-Kreitman Test and its Extensions under Frequent Adaptation: Problems and Solutions [PDF]
, 2012 Population genomic studies have shown that genetic draft and background selection can profoundly affect the genome-wide patterns of molecular variation. We performed forward simulations under realistic gene-structure and selection scenarios to investigate whether such linkage effects impinge on the ability of the McDonald-Kreitman (MK) test to infer ...

Whose job instability affects the likelihood of becoming a parent in Italy? A tale of two partners
Demographic Research, 2012 We examine the likelihood of becoming a parent in Italy taking into account the employment (in)stability of both partners in a couple. We use data from four waves of the Italian section of the EU-SILC (Statistics on Income and Living Condition), 2004 ...
