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 ...

Effective Population Size of Korean Populations [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2014 Recently, new methods have been developed for estimating the current and recent changes in effective population sizes. Based on the methods, the effective population sizes of Korean populations were estimated using data from the Korean Association ...

Restricted selection and effective population size [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1996 Une methode de selection simple et flexible, appelee «selection par troncature avec restriction», a ete mise au point pour retenir les individus superieurs dans des populations a structure familiale. La restriction revient a imposer des contraintes sur la contribution des familles au groupe selectionne et sur le nombre de familles autorisees a ...

FLUCTUATING POPULATION SIZE AND THE RATIO OF EFFECTIVE TO CENSUS POPULATION SIZE [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1997 The effective size of a population (Ne) quantifies the rate at which genetic diversity is eroded by genetic drift (i.e., 112Ne per generation), a fundamental process of evolutionary change. Genetic diversity and its rate of decay have been linked with key components of population fitness (Allendorf and Leary 1987; Ralls et al. 1988; Briscoe et al. 1992;

THE EFFECTIVE SIZE OF A HIERARCHICALLY STRUCTURED POPULATION [PDF]
Evolution; International Journal of Organic Evolution, 1999 A knowledge of the effective size of a population (Ne ) is important in understanding its current and future evolutionary potential. Unfortunately, the effective size of a hierarchically structured population is not, in general, equal to the sum of its parts. In particular, the inbreeding structure has a major influence on Ne . Here I link Ne to Wright'

Prediction and estimation of effective population size [PDF]
Heredity, 2016 Effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter in population genetics. It has important applications in evolutionary biology, conservation genetics and plant and animal breeding, because it measures the rates of genetic drift and inbreeding and affects the efficacy of systematic evolutionary forces, such as mutation, selection and migration.

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 ...

Dealing With Assumptions and Sampling Bias in the Estimation of Effective Population Size: A Case Study in an Amphibian Population [PDF]
Evolutionary ApplicationsAccurately estimating effective population size (Ne) is essential for understanding evolutionary processes and guiding conservation efforts. This study investigates Ne estimation methods in spatially structured populations using a population of moor frog

Exploring the genetic features and signatures of selection in South China indigenous pigs
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2021 To explore the genetic features and signatures of selection in indigenous pigs from South China and Duroc pigs, 259 pigs from six populations were genotyped using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) BeadChips.
