Effective population size in field pea [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground Effective population size (N e ) is a pivotal parameter in population genetics as it can provide information on the rate of inbreeding and the contemporary status of genetic diversity in breeding populations.

Estimates of Effective Population Size in Commercial and Hatchery Strains of Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch (Walbaum, 1792)) [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Understanding the genetic status of aquaculture strains is essential for developing management guidelines aimed at sustaining the rates of genetic gain for economically important traits, as well as securing populations that will be robust to climate ...

Estimating effective population size using RADseq: Effects of SNP selection and sample size [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter of population genetics. However, Ne remains challenging to estimate for natural populations as several factors are likely to bias estimates.

Effective population size for culturally evolving traits. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Population size has long been considered an important driver of cultural diversity and complexity. Results from population genetics, however, demonstrate that in populations with complex demographic structure or mode of inheritance, it is not the census ...

Ancestry-specific recent effective population size in the Americas. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Populations change in size over time due to factors such as population growth, migration, bottleneck events, natural disasters, and disease. The historical effective size of a population affects the power and resolution of genetic association studies ...

Alternative life‐history strategy contributions to effective population size in a naturally spawning salmon population [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Alternative life‐history tactics are predicted to affect within‐population genetic processes but have received little attention. For example, the impact of precocious males on effective population size (Ne) has not been quantified directly in Pacific ...

Recent human effective population size estimated from linkage disequilibrium [PDF]
, 2007 Effective population size (N-e) determines the amount of genetic variation, genetic drift, and linkage disequilibrium (LD) in populations. Here, we present the first genome-wide estimates of human effective population size from LD data.
