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

The method to estimate contemporary effective population size (N e) based on patterns of
linkage disequilibrium (LD) at unlinked loci has been widely applied to natural and …

Background Effective population size (N e) is a crucial parameter in conservation genetics
and animal breeding. A recent method, implemented by the software GONE, has been …

Abstract vonHoldt et al.((2024), Molecular Ecology, 33, e17231)(vH24) used low‐coverage
(average~ 7X read depth) restriction site‐associated DNA sequence data to estimate …

Genetic diversity is necessary for evolutionary response to changing environmental
conditions such as those facing many threatened and endangered species. To investigate …

Anthropogenic activity is driving population declines and extinctions of large-bodied, fruit-
eating animals worldwide. Loss of these frugivores is expected to trigger negative cascading …

Effective population size (N e) is a particularly useful metric for conservation as it affects
genetic drift, inbreeding and adaptive potential within populations. Current guidelines …

Effective population size is a fundamental parameter in population genetics, evolutionary
biology, and conservation biology, yet its estimation can be fraught with difficulties. Several …

A close relationship between adult abundance and stock productivity may not exist for many
marine fish stocks, resulting in concern that the management goal of maximum sustainable …

Real geography is continuous, but standard models in population genetics are based on
discrete, well-mixed populations. As a result, many methods of analyzing genetic data …
