Demographic resilience of brook trout populations subjected to experimental size‐selective harvesting

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Sustainable management of exploited populations benefits from integrating demographic and genetic considerations into assessments, as both play a role in determining harvest yields and population persistence.

Estimation of Population-Specific Genetic Parameters Important for Long-Term Optimum Contribution Selection—Case Study on a Dairy Istrian Sheep Breed

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
The Istrian sheep breed has been subjected to selection for dairy traits for more than two decades. However, a detailed study of some important population-specific parameters such as effective population size (Ne) and connectedness between flocks has ...

Population structure and inbreeding of Holstein cattle in southern Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2020
The present investigation aimed to evaluate the population structure and inbreeding of Holstein herds in southern Brazil. To carry out the analysis, the Associação Paranaense de Criadores de Bovinos da Raça Holandesa (APCBRH) in Brazil provided the data,

Ancestry-specific recent effective population size in the Americas. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Pacific salmon and the coalescent effective population size. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Pacific salmon include several species that are both commercially important and endangered. Understanding the causes of loss in genetic variation is essential for designing better conservation strategies.

Long-term dynamics of morphogenetic indicators of the terrestrial mollusk Cepaea vindobonensis (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Helicidae) in the Bekaryukovsky Bor Natural Monument, Russia

open access: yesNature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2021
Cepaea vindobonensis (Gastropoda, Pulmonata, Helicidae) is a terrestrial mollusk, protected in the Belgorod Region (European Russia). In the Bekaryukovsky Bor Natural Monument, its peripheral population is known considering to be one of the most abundant

Understanding past population dynamics: Bayesian coalescent-based modeling with covariates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Effective population size characterizes the genetic variability in a population and is a parameter of paramount importance in population genetics. Kingman's coalescent process enables inference of past population dynamics directly from molecular sequence

Gene surfing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Spatially resolved genetic data is increasingly used to reconstruct the migrational history of species. To assist such inference, we study, by means of simulations and analytical methods, the dynamics of neutral gene frequencies in a population ...

Harvest-induced evolution and effective population size [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Much has been written about fishery-induced evolution (FIE) in exploited species, but relatively little attention has been paid to the consequences for one of the most important parameters in evolutionary biology-effective population size (N-e). We use a

Effective Size of Auto-tetraploid Population Under Partial Selfing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Effective population size is defined as the number of breeding individual in an idealized population that would show the same amount of dispersion of allele frequencies under random genetic drift or the same amount of inbreeding as the population under ...
