Impact of population structure in the estimation of recent historical effective population size by the software GONE
BackgroundEffective population size ( N e ) is a crucial parameter in conservation genetics and animal breeding. A recent method, implemented by the...

Large effective size as determinant of population persistence in Anostraca (Crustacea: Branchiopoda)
The fairy shrimp Branchinectella media , because of its passive dispersal capacity and scarce and irregularly distributed habitats (temporary saline...

Exploring haplotype block structure, runs of homozygosity, and effective population size among dairy cattle breeds of India
The present study aimed to explore haplotype structure, runs of homozygosity (ROH), effective population size and persistence of gametic phase among...

Prediction of the minimum effective size of a population viable in the long term
The establishment of the minimum size for a viable population (MVP) has been used as a guidance in conservation practice to determine the extinction...

Genetic insights into crossbred dairy cattle of Pakistan: exploring allele frequency, linkage disequilibrium, and effective population size at a genome-wide scale
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) affects genomic studies accuracy. High-density genotyping platforms identify SNPs across animal genomes, increasing LD...

Effective population size of adult and offspring cohorts as a genetic monitoring tool in two stand-forming and wind-pollinated tree species: Fagus sylvatica L. and Picea abies (L.) Karst.
Genetic diversity is considered to be a prerequisite for adaptation and adaptability as it is a key element of biological diversity. However, the...

The history of genetic diversity and effective population size of an isolated Microtus oeconomus population on Kis Balaton
The distribution of many species is fragmented due to human activities and isolated populations are often affected by genetic changes. Small...

Habitat distribution affects connectivity and population size in migratory networks
Population dynamics of migratory species can be modeled using spatial bipartite networks in which nodes representing breeding and winter regions are...

Estimates of recent and historical effective population size in turbot, seabream, seabass and carp selective breeding programmes
BackgroundThe high fecundity of fish species allows intense selection to be practised and therefore leads to fast genetic gains. Based on this,...

Prochlorococcus have low global mutation rate and small effective population size
Prochlorococcus are the most abundant free-living photosynthetic carbon-fixing organisms in the ocean. Prochlorococcus show small genome sizes, low...

Population size as a major determinant of mating system and population genetic differentiation in a narrow endemic chasmophyte
BackgroundMating system is one of the major determinants of intra- and interspecific genetic structure, but may vary within and between plant...

Costly circRNAs, Effective Population Size, and the Origins of Molecular Complexity
While much excitement has attended the discovery and study of circular RNAs, a new study in Cell Reports suggests that most mammalian circRNAs are...

Using photographic mark-recapture to estimate population size, movement, and lifespan of a reintroduced butterfly
The chequered skipper butterfly Carterocephalus palaemon was reintroduced to Fineshade Wood, England in 2018 as part of a Butterfly Conservation-led...

Estimation of the census (Nc) and effective (Ne) population size of a wild mandrill (Mandrillus sphinx) horde in the Lopé National Park, Gabon using a non-invasive genetic approach
Mandrills ( Mandrillus sphinx ) are enigmatic primates endemic to central Africa and are threatened by habitat loss and hunting. However, effective...

Sexual dimorphism in the Hungarian golden jackal population: analysing body and skull size and shape
Defining species within the Canidae family is challenging due to morphological convergence, behavioral plasticity, traditional taxonomic limitations,...

Dispersal, population size, and reproduction in a fire-maintained frosted elfin (Callophrys irus) metapopulation
The frosted elfin ( Callophrys irus ) is imperiled and declining over much of its range with many extant populations separated by large expanses of...

Genetic structure and effective population size of Sydney rock oysters in eastern Australia
Oyster reef habitats are critical to coastal biodiversity and their decline has prompted restoration efforts in Australia. Knowledge gaps exist...

Body size mediates latitudinal population differences in the response to chytrid fungus infection in two amphibians
Factors behind intraspecific variation in sensitivity to pathogens remain poorly understood. We investigated how geographical origin in two North...
