Genetic Effects of Population Size Reduction
Nature, 1968How far do accidental sampling errors in small populations influence their genetic make-up ? Detailed pedigrees of the population of Tristan da Cunha have been used to give an answer to this question.

The effective population size of some age-structured populations
Mathematical Biosciences, 2000It was shown in a previous paper that if generations are discrete, then the effective population size of a large population can be derived from the theory of multitype branching processes. It turns out to be proportional to the reciprocal of a term that appears in the denominator of expressions for survival probabilities when there is a supercritical ...

Effect of List Errors on the Estimation of Population Size
Biometrics, 2002Summary. In many situations, it is possible to estimate the size of a closed population if some members of the population are recorded on one or more administrative lists. An important example is estimating the prevalence of a disease, where some members of the disease population may be recorded on lists such as disease registries, hospital admission ...

The Genetic Effective Size of a Population
2018The effects of genetic drift usually assume an idealized population of constant size. This chapter shows how the population size for such an idealized population can be replaced with an effective population size for populations with age structure, unequal sex ratios, a history of expansion or contraction, inbreeding, and population subdivision.

The Idiot's Guide to Effective Population Size
Molecular EcologyABSTRACT This is a reference manual for the elegant, yet hideously complex concept of effective population size ( N e ), inspired by a classic, self‐published manual of automotive repair ‘for the compleat idiot’.

On the concept of the effective population size
Theoretical Population Biology, 1982Abstract The concept of the effective population size is discussed. It is shown that the “eigenvalue” and the “inbreeding” effective population sizes are in principle different, even though they have been sometimes identified in the literature. On the other hand the “eigenvalue” and “variance” effective sizes are usually both close when the latter ...
