Assignment methods, which use genetic information to ascertain population membership of
individuals or groups of individuals, have been used in recent years to study a wide range of …

Feral cats are among the most damaging invasive species worldwide, and are implicated in
many extinctions, especially in Australia, New Zealand and other islands. Understanding …

The identification of genetically homogeneous groups of individuals is a long standing issue
in population genetics. A recent Bayesian algorithm implemented in the software structure …

We describe extensions to the method of Pritchard et al. for inferring population structure
from multilocus genotype data. Most importantly, we develop methods that allow for linkage …

In analysis of multilocus genotypes from structured populations, individual coefficients of
membership in subpopulations are often estimated using programs such as structure …

Accurate detection of offspring resulting from hybridization between individuals of distinct
populations has a range of applications in conservation and population genetics. We …

The world's domestic cats carry patterns of sequence variation in their genome that reflect a
history of domestication and breed development. A genetic assessment of 979 domestic cats …

Little is known about the genetic changes that distinguish domestic cat populations from
their wild progenitors. Here we describe a high-quality domestic cat reference genome …

Traditional methods for characterizing genetic differentiation among populations rely on a
priori grou** of individuals. Bayesian clustering methods avoid this limitation by using …

The editors utilize their 50 years of combined experience in professional engagement with
the behaviour and ecology of wild felids to draw together a unique network of the world's …
