Maximum-likelihood estimation of admixture proportions from genetic data.

TL;DR: A likelihood method is proposed to estimate jointly the admixture proportions, the genetic drift that occurred to the admixed population and each parental population during the period between the hybridization and sampling events, and the genetic Drift in each ancestral population within the interval between their split and hybridization.

The effective population size of Anopheles gambiae in Kenya: implications for population structure.

TL;DR: Large current Ne is consistent with previous studies showing low differentiation across the continent, especially under Wright's isolation-by-distance model, and long-term Ne, probably measured in hundreds of thousands, does not support a recent expansion of this species from a small population.

Population genetics and molecular epidemiology or how to "débusquer la bête".

TL;DR: This review presents the molecular tools, the null models employed, the statistical tools available and the kinds of inferences one can make when using molecular markers to study the ecology/epidemiology of host-parasite systems (molecular ecology/Molecular epidemiology).
Journal ArticleDOI

Conservation genetics considerations in fishery management

TL;DR: It is argued that assessments of acceptable levels of introgression should be made on the basis of spontaneously occurring gene flow estimated from genetic data using parameters such as Fst or similar ones, and it is concluded that although the fitness approach may appear attractive it is not compatible with the more general objective of maintaining genetic diversity between and within populations.

Genetic variability and founder effect in the pitcher plant sarracenia purpurea l.

TL;DR: Studies of chromosomal polymorphisms in Drosophila species suggest an important role for genetic bottleneck not only during speciation but also in microevolutionary processes.

Coefficients of Inbreeding and Relationship

TL;DR: The importance of having a coefficient by means of which the degree of inbreeding may be expressed has been brought out by Pearl' in a number of papers published between 1913 and 1917.

The material basis of evolution.

TL;DR: Goldschmidt as discussed by the authors argued that macroevolution resulted from larger jumps in genotype across "bridgeless gaps" related either to systemic mutations or to mutations affecting early development.
