Biodiversity underlies ecosystem resilience, ecosystem function, sustainable economies,
and human well‐being. Understanding how biodiversity sustains ecosystems under …

During the last ten years, the use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA
level, has been playing an increasing part in animal genetics studies. Amongst others, the …

DNA degradation, low DNA concentrations and primer‐site mutations may result in the
incorrect assignment of microsatellite genotypes, potentially biasing population genetic …

Corrosion is a ubiquitous and costly problem for a variety of industries. Understanding and
reducing the cost of corrosion remain primary interests for corrosion professionals and …

Genotypes are frequently used to identify parentage. Such analysis is notoriously vulnerable
to genoty** error, and there is ongoing debate regarding how to solve this problem. Many …

Recent improvements in genetic analysis and genoty** methods have resulted in a rapid
expansion of the power of molecular markers to address ecological questions …

Population genetics has come of age. Three important components have come together:
efficient techniques to examine informative segments of DNA, statistics to analyse DNA data …

Although genoty** errors affect most data and can markedly influence the biological
conclusions of a study, they are too often neglected. Errors have various causes, but their …

A fully updated guide to the increasingly prevalent use of molecular data in ecological
studies Molecular ecology is concerned with how molecular biology and population genetics …

Estimating the genetic basis of quantitative traits can be tricky for wild populations in natural
environments, as environmental variation frequently obscures the underlying evolutionary …
