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.

Pedigree analysis in the Polish Red cattle population
Animal, 2021 The objective of this study was to describe the population structure and inbreeding level of the population of Polish Red Cattle (PRC). The structure of the breed was analysed in the context of the existing genetic resources conservation programme.

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.

The Effective Size of a Subdivided Population [PDF]
Genetics, 1997 This paper derives the long-term effective size, Ne, for a general model of population subdivision, allowing for differential deme fitness, variable emigration and immigration rates, extinction, colonization, and correlations across generations in these processes. We show that various long-term measures of Ne, are equivalent.

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 ...

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 ...

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.
