This special issue of Evolutionary Applications consists of 10 publications investigating the use of next‐generation tools and techniques in population genetic analyses and biodiversity …
Estimating the effective population size and effective number of breeders per year (Nb) can facilitate early detection of population declines. We used computer simulations to quantify …

The current attrition of biodiversity extends beyond loss of species and unique populations to steady loss of a vast genomic diversity that remains largely undescribed. Yet the …
Trends in population abundance can be challenging to quantify during range expansion and contraction, when there is spatial variation in trend, or the conservation area is large. We …
Several species of bears are known to rub deliberately against trees and other objects, but little is known about why bears rub. Patterns in rubbing behavior of male and female brown …

The field of conservation has seen a shift in focus from monitoring trends in census population size to trends in 'effective'population size. Numerous genetic methods exist for …

In Europe, genetically distinct ecotypes of the tick-vectored bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum circulate among mammals in three discrete enzootic cycles. To date …
Obtaining reliable estimates of the effective number of breeders (N b) and generational effective population size (N e) for fishery‐important species is challenging because they are …
Molecular genetics are key to understanding current and historical relationships between isolated populations, including species' colonizations during glacial–interglacial cycles, to …
