Noninvasive genetic sampling provides great potential for research and management
applications in wildlife biology. Researchers can obtain DNA from a variety of sources …

Motivation: DIYABC is a software package for a comprehensive analysis of population
history using approximate Bayesian computation on DNA polymorphism data. Version 2.0 …

This comprehensive introductory text integrates evolutionary, ecological, and demographic
perspectives with new results from field studies and contemporary noninvasive molecular …

The idea that molecular data should contain information on the recent evolutionary history of
populations is rather old. However, much of the work carried out today owes to the work of …

Habitat fragmentation is one of the most prominent effects of anthropogenic ecosystem
degradation. However, despite the accumulating evidence that anthropogenic habitat …

Great ape populations are undergoing a dramatic decline, which is predicted to result in
their extinction in the wild from entire regions in the near future. Recent findings have …

Recently developed methods of individual‐based analysis of genetic data allow an
unprecedented opportunity to understand the relationships among fragmented populations …

This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great
ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan populations show extensive variation in …

Genetic variation is considered critical for allowing natural populations to adapt to their
changing environment, and yet the effects of human disturbance on genetic variation in the …

Comparisons of genetic variation between humans and great apes are hampered by the fact
that we still know little about the demographics and evolutionary history of the latter species …
