Population structure and inbreeding of Holstein cattle in southern Brazil
Revista 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,

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

On Heterozygosity and the Effective Size of Populations Subject to Size Changes [PDF]
Evolution, 1982 When a population is subject to fluctuations in size, the effective population number during any time interval is usually approximated by the harmonic mean of the successive generation sizes (Wright, 1938, 1939). If there are no mutations, the population will eventually reach complete homozygosity.

The effective size of bryophyte populations
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2009 Bryophytes with their dominant haploid stage conform poorly to the life cycles generally treated in population genetical models. Here we make a detailed analysis of what effective sizes bryophyte model populations have as a function of their breeding system.

Effective Population Size in a Continuously Distributed Population [PDF]
Evolution, 1995 An individual-based simulation model was created to examine genetic variability, time until fixation and spatial genetic structure in a continuously distributed population. Previous mathematical models for continuously distributed populations have the difficulty that the assumption of independent reproduction and independent dispersal of offspring ...

Extensions of the Coalescent Effective Population Size [PDF]
Genetics, 2009 Abstract We suggest two extensions of the coalescent effective population size of Sjödin et al. (2005) and make a third, practical point. First, to bolster its relevance to data and allow comparisons between models, the coalescent effective size should be recast as a kind of mutation effective size.

Assessing the genetic diversity in small farm animal populations*
Animal, 2011 Genetic variation is vital for the populations to adapt to varying environments and to respond to artificial selection; therefore, any conservation and development scheme should start from assessing the state of variation in the population.
