The accuracy of gene flow estimates is unknown in most natural populations because direct
estimates of dispersal are often not possible. These estimates can be highly imprecise or …

▪ Abstract Modern population genetics underwent a major paradigm shift during the last
decade of the 20th century with the discovery that thousands of genes of known function and …

Welcome to the Third Edition of the Handbook of Biological Statistics! This textbook evolved
from a set of notes for my Biological Data Analysis class at the University of Delaware. My …

Phylogeography is a discipline concerned with various relationships between gene
genealogies—phylogenetics—and geography. The word “phylogeography” was coined in …

Geographical surveys of genetic variation provide an indirect means of tracing movements
made between marine populations by larvae and other propagules. Genetic markers can …

INFERRING GENE FLOW AND MIGRATION FROM SPATIAL VARIATION IN ALLELE AND
GENOTYPE FREQUENCIES Understanding the connectivity of marine populations is vital …

A comparative study between microsatellite and allozyme markers was conducted on
natural populations of resident brown trout (Salmo trutta) sampled over a reduced …

▪ Abstract Allozyme polymorphisms have been the focus of studies of selection at single
enzyme loci, and most involve the enzymes of central metabolism. DNA sequencing of …

Marine stock-enhancement programs should use information on population structure to
optimize enhancement strategies and to design and implement operations so as to protect …

Abstract.—We examined genetic variation at 21 polymorphic allozyme loci, 15 nuclear DNA
loci, and mitochondrial DNA in four spawning populations of sockeye salmon …
