TL;DR: MICRO - CHECKER estimates the frequency of null alleles and, importantly, can adjust the allele and genotype frequencies of the amplified alleles, permitting their use in further population genetic analysis.

TL;DR: A novel null allele estimator that can be used to estimate the null allele frequency and adjust visible allele frequencies in populations for which independent estimates of F, F IS or F ST are available is proposed.

TL;DR: Evidence of correlated genetic and life history differentiation in an abundant and highly migratory pelagic fish, Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, in the North Sea and adjacent areas is described and suggests the existence of more complex patterns of intraspecific diversity than was previously recognized.

TL;DR: DNA recovered from a temporal series of archived North Sea cod otoliths is used to investigate genetic diversity within the Flamborough Head population between 1954 and 1998, during which time the population underwent two successive declines.

TL;DR: In this paper, more sensitive genetic techniques, in the form of microsatellite analysis, were used to reanalyse the population structure through the specific targeting of mature fish on spawning grounds.
