Assessing population structure: FST and related measures
PG Meirmans, PW Hedrick - Molecular ecology resources, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Although FST is widely used as a measure of population structure, it has been criticized
recently because of its dependency on within‐population diversity. This dependency can …

PSMC analysis of effective population sizes in molecular ecology and its application to black‐and‐white Ficedula flycatchers
Climatic fluctuations during the Quaternary period governed the demography of species and
contributed to population differentiation and ultimately speciation. Studies of these past …

A high‐density linkage map enables a second‐generation collared flycatcher genome assembly and reveals the patterns of avian recombination rate variation and …
Detailed linkage and recombination rate maps are necessary to use the full potential of
genome sequencing and population genomic analyses. We used a custom collared …

Adaptation to climate change through dispersal and inherited timing in an avian migrant
Many organisms fail to adjust their phenology sufficiently to climate change. Studies have
concentrated on adaptive responses within localities, but little is known about how latitudinal …

Whither Pst? The approximation of Qst by Pst in evolutionary and conservation biology
JE Brommer - Journal of evolutionary biology, 2011 - academic.oup.com
Local adaptation through natural selection can be inferred in case the additive genetic
divergence in a quantitative trait across populations (Q st) exceeds the neutral expectation …

Ecology and genetics of speciation in Ficedula flycatchers
GP SÆTRE, SA Saether - Molecular Ecology, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Birds have for long been popular study objects in speciation research. Being easy to
observe in the field, they have traditionally been particularly important in studies of …

Comparisons between QST and FST—how wrong have we been?
The comparison between quantitative genetic divergence (QST) and neutral genetic
divergence (FST) among populations has become the standard test for historical signatures …

Comprehensive molecular phylogeny of barn owls and relatives (Family: Tytonidae), and their six major Pleistocene radiations
The owl family Tytonidae comprises two genera: Phodilus, limited to the forests of central
Africa and South-East Asia, and the ubiquitous Tyto. The genus Tyto is majorly represented …

Assessing migratory connectivity for a long‐distance migratory bird using multiple intrinsic markers
Patterns of migratory connectivity are a vital yet poorly understood component of the ecology
and evolution of migratory birds. Our ability to accurately characterize patterns of migratory …
