Quantitative genetic theory provides a means of estimating the evolutionary potential of
natural populations. However, this approach was previously only feasible in systems where …

Now updated for its second edition, Population Genetics is the classic, accessible
introduction to the concepts of population genetics. Combining traditional conceptual …

Humans cause widespread evolutionary change in nature, but we still know little about the
genomic basis of rapid adaptation in the Anthropocene. We tracked genomic changes …

Background The estimation of relatedness between pairs of possibly inbred individuals from
high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data has previously not been possible for samples …

The inbreeding coefficient (F) of individuals can be estimated from molecular marker data,
such as SNPs, using measures of homozygosity of individual markers or runs of …

The estimation of the inbreeding coefficient (F) is essential for the study of inbreeding
depression (ID) or for the management of populations under conservation. Several methods …

The ways in which genetic variation is distributed within and among populations is a key
determinant of the evolutionary features of a species. However, most comprehensive studies …

Using data from 83 isolates from a single population, the population genomics of the
microcrustacean Daphnia pulex are described and compared to current knowledge for the …

Traditionally, pedigree-based relationship coefficients were used to manage inbreeding and
control inbreeding depression that occurs within populations. The extensive incorporation of …

The field of genomics has ushered in new methods for studying molecular-genetic variation
in natural populations. However, most population-genomic studies still rely on small sample …
