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

FLUCTUATING POPULATION SIZE AND THE RATIO OF EFFECTIVE TO CENSUS POPULATION SIZE [PDF]
Evolution, 1997 The effective size of a population (Ne) quantifies the rate at which genetic diversity is eroded by genetic drift (i.e., 112Ne per generation), a fundamental process of evolutionary change. Genetic diversity and its rate of decay have been linked with key components of population fitness (Allendorf and Leary 1987; Ralls et al. 1988; Briscoe et al. 1992;

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.

Evolution Letters, 2022 AbstractThe effective population size (Ne) of an organism is expected to be generally proportional to the total number of individuals in a population. In parasites, we might expect the effective population size to be proportional to host population size and host body size, because both are expected to increase the number of parasite individuals ...

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 ...

Effective Population Size and Population Subdivision in Demographically Structured Populations [PDF]
Genetics, 2002 Abstract A fast-timescale approximation is applied to the coalescent process in a single population, which is demographically structured by sex and/or age. This provides a general expression for the probability that a pair of alleles sampled from the population coalesce in the previous time interval.

A new reference genome assembly for the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex [PDF]
, 2017 Comparing genomes of closely related genotypes from populations with distinct demographic histories can help reveal the impact of effective population size on genome evolution. For this purpose, we present a high quality genome assembly of Daphnia pulex (

bioRxiv, 2020 Eusociality and parastitism are specific life-history strategies particularly common in Hymenoptera. At the population genetics level, low effective population size and reduced efficiency of purifying selection have been suggested as an evolutionary ...

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.
