How to track and assess genoty** errors in population genetics studies
Genoty** errors occur when the genotype determined after molecular analysis does not
correspond to the real genotype of the individual under consideration. Virtually every genetic …

Understanding the relationship between the inbreeding coefficient and multilocus heterozygosity: theoretical expectations and empirical data
Geneticists have been interested in inbreeding and inbreeding depression since the time of
Darwin. Two alternative approaches that can be used to measure how inbred an individual …

Quantifying genoty** errors in noninvasive population genetics
The use of noninvasively collected samples greatly expands the range of ecological issues
that may be investigated through population genetics. Furthermore, the difficulty of obtaining …

Immigration and the ephemerality of a natural population bottleneck: evidence from molecular markers
Population bottlenecks are often invoked to explain low levels of genetic variation in natural
populations, yet few studies have documented the direct genetic consequences of known …

Cultural and genetic evolution in mountain white‐crowned sparrows: song dialects are associated with population structure
EA MacDougall‐Shackleton… - …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
Bird song often varies geographically within a species; when this geographic variation has
distinct boundaries, the shared song types are referred to as song dialects. How dialects are …

Migration-selection balance and local adaptation of mitochondrial haplotypes in rufous-collared sparrows (Zonotrichia capensis) along an elevational gradient
Variable selection pressures across heterogeneous landscapes can lead to local adaptation
of populations. The extent of local adaptation depends on the interplay between natural …

Habitat selection, acoustic adaptation, and the evolution of reproductive isolation
We examined barriers to gene flow in a hybrid zone of two subspecies of the song sparrow
(Melospiza melodia). We focused on how mating signals and mate choice changed along …

Sex-specific consequences of life in the city
The vast majority of species are excluded from human-dominated landscapes, but some
species persist and appear to thrive, despite facing challenges they would not encounter in …

Maximum-likelihood estimation of allelic dropout and false allele error rates from microsatellite genotypes in the absence of reference data
The importance of quantifying and accounting for stochastic genoty** errors when
analyzing microsatellite data is increasingly being recognized. This awareness is motivating …

The effects of sample size on population genetic diversity estimates in song sparrows Melospiza melodia
To empirically determine the effects of sample size on commonly used measures of average
