TL;DR: Arlequin ver 3.0 as discussed by the authors is a software package integrating several basic and advanced methods for population genetics data analysis, like the computation of standard genetic diversity indices, the estimation of allele and haplotype frequencies, tests of departure from linkage equilibrium, departure from selective neutrality and demographic equilibrium, estimation or parameters from past population expansions, and thorough analyses of population subdivision under the AMOVA framework.

TL;DR: The samova algorithm was applied to a set of European roe deer populations examined for their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) HVRI diversity and the inferred genetic structure seemed to confirm the hypothesis that some Italian populations were recently reintroduced from a Balkanic stock.

TL;DR: This article shows how to infer past demographic parameters by explicitly taking into account a finite-sites model with heterogeneity of mutation rates, and proposes an alternative way to derive confidence intervals around the estimated parameters, based on a bootstrap approach.

TL;DR: A multivariate analysis of the genetic distances among 61 populations reveals that populations that did not undergo demographic expansions show increased genetic distances from other populations, confirming that the demography of the populations strongly affects observed genetic affinities.

TL;DR: SIMCOAL (version 1.0) as mentioned in this paper is a computer program for the simulation of molecular genetic diversity in an arbitrary number of haploid populations examined for a set of fully linked loci.
