Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …
Use of single-sample genetic methods to estimate effective population size has skyrocketed in recent years. Although the underlying models assume discrete generations, they are …
Effective population size (Ne) determines the strength of genetic drift in a population and has long been recognized as an important parameter for evaluating conservation status and …
The method to estimate contemporary effective population size (N e) based on patterns of linkage disequilibrium (LD) at unlinked loci has been widely applied to natural and …
Genetic diversity underpins the ability of populations to persist and adapt to environmental changes. Substantial empirical data show that genetic diversity rapidly deteriorates in small …

Significant changes have occurred in the well‐established partnership between fisheries managers and geneticists over the last 50 years. It is therefore timely to review and …
Background The scalloped hammerhead shark, Sphyrna lewini, is a large endangered predator with a circumglobal distribution, observed in the open ocean but linked …
