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 …

Microsatellites have been popular molecular markers ever since their advent in the late
eighties. Despite growing competition from new genotyping and sequencing techniques, the …

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 …

Background Microsatellite markers are widely used for estimating genetic diversity within
and differentiation among populations. However, it has rarely been tested whether such …

Animals lead rich social lives. They care for one another, compete for resources, and mate.
Within a society, social relationships may be simple or complex and usually vary …

While population declines can drive the loss of genetic diversity under some circumstances,
it has been unclear whether this loss is a general consequence of overharvest in highly …

" There are more coral species in deep, cold-waters than in tropical coral reefs. This broad-
ranging treatment is the first to synthesise current understanding of all types of cold-water …

Microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are one of the most informative and
multi-purpose genetic markers exploited in plant functional genomics. However, the …

Management and conservation can be greatly informed by considering explicitly how
environmental factors influence population genetic structure. Using simulated larval …

Although theory has demonstrated rather low levels of gene flow are sufficient to counteract
opposing mutation, drift, and selection, widespread recognition of the evolutionary …
