Nested clade analyses of phylogeographic data: testing hypotheses about gene flow and population history
Since the 1920s, population geneticists have had measures that describe how genetic variation is distributed spatially within a species’ geographical range. Modern genetic surve...
Structure and History of African Elephant Populations: I. Eastern and Southern Africa
Patterns of restriction site variation within mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of 270 individuals were used to examine the current structure of savanna elephant populations and to infe...
Mitochondrial DNA phylogeography and population history of the grey wolf<i>Canis lupus</i>
Abstract The grey wolf ( Canis lupus ) and coyote ( C. latrans ) are highly mobile carnivores that disperse over great distances in search of territories and mates. Previous gen...
Genetic Distance between Populations
A measure of genetic distance (D) based on the identity of genes between populations is formulated. It is defined as D = -logeI, where I is the normalized identity of genes betw...
Fast model-based estimation of ancestry in unrelated individuals
Population stratification has long been recognized as a confounding factor in genetic association studies. Estimated ancestries, derived from multi-locus genotype data, can be u...
