Microsatellites have been popular molecular markers ever since their advent in the late
eighties. Despite growing competition from new genoty** and sequencing techniques, the …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

Background Microsatellite markers are widely used for estimating genetic diversity within
and differentiation among populations. However, it has rarely been tested whether such …

Abstract Testing for Hardy–Weinberg proportions (HWP) is routine in almost all genetic
studies of natural populations, but many researchers do not demonstrate a full …

Population genetic studies reveal biodiversity patterns and inform about drivers of
evolutionary differentiation and adaptation, including gene flow, drift and selection. This can …

Management and conservation can be greatly informed by considering explicitly how
environmental factors influence population genetic structure. Using simulated larval …

The natural diversity of honey bees in Europe is eroding fast. A multitude of reasons lead to
a loss of both genetic diversity and specific adaptations to local conditions. To preserve …

Although microsatellites are a very efficient tool for many population genetics applications,
they may occasionally produce “null” alleles, which, when present in high proportion, may …

Publisher Summary This chapter updates former reviews on locust polyphenism and also
discusses recent findings. Over 200 articles were published in scientific journals on various …

Inexpensive short‐read sequencing technologies applied to reduced representation
genomes is revolutionizing genetic research, especially population genetics analysis, by …
