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.

Nature 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

Harvest-induced evolution and effective population size [PDF]
, 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

, 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 ...

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 demography of free-roaming dog populations and applications to disease and population control [PDF]
, 2014 Understanding the demography of domestic dog populations is essential for effective disease control, particularly of canine-mediated rabies. Demographic data are also needed to plan effective population management.

Effective Size of Fluctuating Salmon Populations
Genetics, 2002 AbstractPacific salmon are semelparous but have overlapping year classes, which presents special challenges for the application of standard population genetics theory to these species. This article examines the relationship between the effective number of breeders per year (Nb) and single-generation and multigeneration effective population size (Ne) in

Reduction of a metapopulation genetic model to an effective one island model [PDF]
, 2018 We explore a model of metapopulation genetics which is based on a more ecologically motivated approach than is frequently used in population genetics. The size of the population is regulated by competition between individuals, rather than by artificially

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.
