Effective population size for culturally evolving traits.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2022
Population size has long been considered an important driver of cultural diversity and complexity. Results from population genetics, however, demonstrate that in populations with complex demographic structure or mode of inheritance, it is not the census ...

A Robust Effect Size Index [PDF]

open access: yesPsychometrika, 2020
Effect size indices are useful tools in study design and reporting because they are unitless measures of association strength that do not depend on sample size. Existing effect size indices are developed for particular parametric models or population parameters. Here, we propose a robust effect size index based on M-estimators.

Necessity for replacing the filter media in the water treatment plant based on effective size and uniformity coefficient

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, 2012
Aims: This study aims to compare the parameters in filtration unit of the plant with international guidelines. The results of this study would determine the necessity for replacing or renewing the anthracite and sand filter beds in phase I of IWTP ...

Ratios and effect size. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Learning and Cognition, 2017
Responding to a related pair of measurements is often expressed as a single discrimination ratio. Authors have used various discrimination ratios; yet, little information exists to guide their choice. A second use of ratios is to correct for the influence of a nuisance variable on the measurement of interest.

Effective population size [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

The hierarchical island model revisited

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2000
Formulae were derived for the genetic differentiation between populations within a metapopulation (FSM), and between metapopulations (FMT) as functions of migration and mutation rates, size and number of populations and metapopulations. We show that FMT =

Translocation and Aquaculture Impact on Genetic Diversity and Composition of Wild Self-Sustainable Ostrea edulis Populations in the Adriatic Sea

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is a keystone species suffering major population declines due to overfishing, habitat loss and parasite diseases.
