Reliable effective number of breeders/adult census size ratios in seasonal‐breeding species: Opportunity for integrative demographic inferences based on capture–mark–recapture data and multilocus genotypes [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 The ratio of the effective number of breeders (N b) to the adult census size (N a), N b/N a, approximates the departure from the standard capacity of a population to maintain genetic diversity in one reproductive season.

On the Potential for Estimating the Effective Number of Breeders From Heterozygote-Excess in Progeny
Genetics, 1996 Abstract The important parameter of effective population size is rarely estimable directly from demographic data. Indirect estimates of effective population size may be made from genetic data such as temporal variation of allelic frequencies or linkage disequilibrium in cohorts.

Genealogical information analysis of Gyr and Nelore cattle from Costa Rica [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2023 : The objectives were to analyze the genealogical information of Gyr (GY) and Nelore (NL) cattle from Costa Rica. Analyzed: pedigree integrity (GY, 13272; NL, 18153); number of complete, maximum traced and equivalent complete generations; inbreeding (FI);

The evaluation of genomic diversity and selection signals in the autochthonous Slovak Spotted cattle
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2021 The aim of this study was to evaluate the effective population size based on linkage disequilibrium and the trend of inbreeding derived from runs of homozygosity (ROH) in the Slovak Spotted cattle.

Optimizing Plant Breeding Programs for Genomic Selection
Agronomy, 2022 Plant geneticists and breeders have used marker technology since the 1980s in quantitative trait locus (QTL) identification. Marker-assisted selection is effective for large-effect QTL but has been challenging to use with quantitative traits controlled ...

Linkage disequilibrium and effective population size when generations overlap
Evolutionary Applications, 2013 Estimates of effective population size are critical for species of conservation concern. Genetic datasets can be used to provide robust estimates of this important parameter. However, the methods used to obtain these estimates assume that generations are

Rice molecular markers and genetic mapping: Current status and prospects
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017 Dramatic changes in climatic conditions that supplement the biotic and abiotic stresses pose severe threat to the sustainable rice production and have made it a difficult task for rice molecular breeders to enhance production and productivity under these
