Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021 The high fecundity of fish species allows intense selection to be practised and therefore leads to fast genetic gains. Based on this, numerous selective breeding programmes have been started in Europe in the last decades, but in general, little is known ...

Calculation of the effective population size and estimating of total population size using mitochondrial DNA sequencing in Hamedan, Qazvin and Zanjan provinces [PDF]
مجله بیوتکنولوژی کشاورزی, 2015 Although wolves have the ability to live in different habitat types, in recent years their population has been drastically reduced in most parts of the country and in some areas has become extinct.

An empirical examination of sample size effects on population demographic estimates in birds using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Sample size is a critical aspect of study design in population genomics research, yet few empirical studies have examined the impacts of small sample sizes.

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Population size is a central parameter for conservation; however, monitoring abundance is often problematic for threatened marine species. Despite substantial investment in research, many marine species remain data‐poor presenting barriers to the ...

Navigating the temporal continuum of effective population size
, 2021 Effective population size, Ne, is a key evolutionary parameter that determines the levels of genetic variation and efficacy of selection. Estimation and interpretation of Ne are essential in diverse areas of evolutionary and conservation biology, ranging

Effective population size in Busha and Gatačko cattle from Herzegovina: Ecological and molecular approach [PDF]
Agroznanje, 2013 The effective population size (Ne) is one of basic core concepts in population genetics. Monitoring the effective population size, which is parallel to monitoring genetic variability, is of importance to population genetic studies and is applicable in ...

Effective population size [PDF]
Current Biology, 2002 What is it? An aid to calculation in population genetics, introduced by Sewall Wright. The rate of change of the genetic make-up of a population by genetic drift – fluctuations in allele frequencies caused by random sampling – is inversely related to the effective population size, Ne. Ne is measured with reference to an ideal ‘Wright–Fisher’ population.

Pedigree analysis of Santa Inês sheep and inbreeding effects on performance traits
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2020 Population parameters such as effective population size and coefficients of inbreeding are important information of a population but have rarely been studied in Santa Inês sheep.
