Effective population size in simple infectious disease models
Almost all models used in analysis of infectious disease outbreaks contain some notion of population size, usually taken as the census population...

Effective population size in field pea
BackgroundEffective population size ( N e ) is a pivotal parameter in population genetics as it can provide information on the rate of inbreeding and...

Haplotype-based inference of recent effective population size in modern and ancient DNA samples
Individuals sharing recent ancestors are likely to co-inherit large identical-by-descent (IBD) genomic regions. The distribution of these IBD...

Population Size, Distribution and Concentration
The first “facts” of interest to demographers are the size, distribution and concentration of people within a geographic area. Methods for...

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...

Drivers of strong isolation and small effective population size at a leading range edge of a widespread plant
Climate change has influenced species distributions worldwide with upward elevational shifts observed in many systems. Leading range edge...

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...

Innovation rate and population structure moderate the effect of population size on cumulative technological culture
Cumulative technological culture is defined as the increase in efficiency and complexity of tools and techniques over generations that allowed humans...

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...

A dual-population constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithm with variable auxiliary population size
Constrained multi-objective optimization problems (CMOPs) exist widely in the real world, which simultaneously contain multiple constraints to be...

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,...

The technical approach of using mobile positioning data to support urban population size monitoring
This paper summarizes the methods and approaches of using mobile positioning data to estimate and monitor urban population size. It starts with the...

Impact of population behavioural responses on the critical community size of infectious diseases
The critical community size (CCS) is the minimum closed population size in which a pathogen can persist indefinitely. Below this threshold,...
