Journal ArticleDOI
Discriminant analysis of principal components: a new method for the analysis of genetically structured populations
TL;DR: The Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components (DAPC) is introduced, a multivariate method designed to identify and describe clusters of genetically related individuals that performs generally better than STRUCTURE at characterizing population subdivision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revealing cryptic spatial patterns in genetic variability by a new multivariate method
TL;DR: This paper proposes a new spatially explicit multivariate method, spatial principal component analysis (sPCA), to investigate the spatial pattern of genetic variability using allelic frequency data of individuals or populations, and shows that sPCA performed better than PCA to reveal spatial genetic patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation time: a reliable metric to measure life-history variation among mammalian populations.
Jean-Michel Gaillard,Nigel G. Yoccoz,Jean-Dominique Lebreton,Christophe Bonenfant,Sébastien Devillard,Anne Loison,Dominique Pontier,Dominique Allainé +7 more
TL;DR: The age of first reproduction is a reliable predictor of the ranking of mammalian populations along the slow‐fast continuum and that both body mass and phylogeny markedly influence the generation time of mammalian species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additional haplogroups of Toxoplasma gondii out of Africa: population structure and mouse-virulence of strains from Gabon.
Aurélien Mercier,Sébastien Devillard,Barthélémy Ngoubangoye,Henri Bonnabau,Anne-Laure Bañuls,Patrick Durand,Bettina Salle,Daniel Ajzenberg,Marie-Laure Dardé +8 more
TL;DR: For the first time, key epidemiological questions were addressed for the West African T. gondii population, using the high discriminatory power of microsatellite markers, thus creating a basis for further epidemiological and clinical investigations.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Demographic Species Knowledge Index is developed, which classifies the available information for 32,144 (97%) of extant described mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and shows that data from zoos and aquariums in the Species360 network can significantly improve knowledge for an almost eightfold gain.
