Effective number of white shark (Carcharodon carcharias, Linnaeus) breeders is stable over four successive years in the population adjacent to eastern Australia and New Zealand [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Population size is a central parameter for conservation; however, monitoring abundance is often problematic for threatened marine species. Despite substantial investment in research, many marine species remain data‐poor presenting barriers to the ...

Severe inbreeding and small effective number of breeders in a formerly abundant marine fish. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In contrast to freshwater fish it is presumed that marine fish are unlikely to spawn with close relatives due to the dilution effect of large breeding populations and their propensity for movement and reproductive mixing.

Can genetic estimators provide robust estimates of the effective number of breeders in small populations? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The effective population size (N(e)) is proportional to the loss of genetic diversity and the rate of inbreeding, and its accurate estimation is crucial for the monitoring of small populations.

Evolutionary ApplicationsObtaining reliable estimates of the effective number of breeders (Nb) and generational effective population size (Ne) for fishery‐important species is challenging because they are often iteroparous and highly abundant, which can lead to bias and ...

Diversity, 2023 Population genetics can reveal whether colonization of created habitats has been successful and inform future strategies for habitat creation. We used genetic analysis to investigate spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum) colonization of created vernal

Considerations for monitoring population trends of colonial waterbirds using the effective number of breeders and census estimates [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Detecting trends in population size fluctuations is a major focus in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology. Populations of colonial waterbirds have been monitored using demographic approaches to determine annual census size (Na).

Estimation of effective number of breeders from molecular coancestry of single cohort sample
Evolutionary Applications, 2008 The effective population size, Ne, is an important parameter in population genetics and conservation biology. It is, however, difficult to directly estimate Ne from demographic data in many wild species.

Effective number of breeders, effective population size and their relationship with census size in an iteroparous species,Salvelinus fontinalis [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 The relationship between the effective number of breeders ( N b ) and the generational effective size ( N e ) has rarely been examined empirically in species with overlapping generations and iteroparity.

Effective number of breeders from sibship reconstruction: empirical evaluations using hatchery steelhead [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2016 Effective population size (Ne) is among the most important metrics in evolutionary biology. In natural populations, it is often difficult to collect adequate demographic data to calculate Ne directly.
