Parentage analysis is a cornerstone of molecular ecology that has delivered fundamental
insights into behaviour, ecology and evolution. Microsatellite markers have long been the …

Connectivity is a vital component of metapopulation and landscape ecology, influencing
fundamental processes such as population dynamics, evolution, and community responses …

Using scripting languages such as R to perform population genetic analyses can improve
the reproducibility of research, but using R can be challenging for many researchers due to …

Estimating the genetic basis of quantitative traits can be tricky for wild populations in natural
environments, as environmental variation frequently obscures the underlying evolutionary …

Given the explosive development of new molecular marker techniques over the last decade,
newcomers and experts alike in the field of DNA fingerprinting will find an easy-to-follow …

Likelihood methods have been developed to partition individuals in a sample into full-sib
and half-sib families using genetic marker data without parental information. They invariably …

The use of molecular techniques for parentage analysis has been a booming science for
over a decade. The most important technological breakthrough was the introduction of …

Microsatellites are powerful molecular markers, used commonly to estimate intraspecific
genetic distances. With the exception of band sharing similarity index, available distance …
