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 …

Though polyploidy is an important aspect of the evolutionary genetics of both plants and
animals, the development of population genetic theory of polyploids has seriously lagged …

In a pair of seminal papers, Sewall Wright and Gustave Malécot introduced F ST as a
measure of structure in natural populations. In the decades that followed, a number of …

Abstract genalex is a user‐friendly cross‐platform package that runs within Microsoft Excel,
enabling population genetic analyses of codominant, haploid and binary data. Allele …

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

Now updated for its second edition, Population Genetics is the classic, accessible
introduction to the concepts of population genetics. Combining traditional conceptual …

Software for the measurement of genetic diversity (SMOGD) is a web‐based application for
the calculation of the recently proposed genetic diversity indices G′ ST and Dest. SMOGD …

The genetic differentiation among populations is affected by mutation as well as by
migration, drift and selection. For loci with high mutation rates, such as microsatellites, the …

G ST‐values and its relatives (FST) belong to the most used parameters to define genetic
differences between populations. Originally, they were developed for allozymes with very …

Genetic variation is usually estimated empirically from statistics based on population gene
frequencies, but alternative statistics based on allelic diversity (number of allelic types) can …
