The rapidly emerging field of macrogenetics focuses on analysing publicly accessible
genetic datasets from thousands of species to explore large-scale patterns and predictors of …

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 …

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 …

Use of single-sample genetic methods to estimate effective population size has skyrocketed
in recent years. Although the underlying models assume discrete generations, they are …

Intraspecific variation is a major component of biodiversity, yet it has received relatively little
attention from governmental and nongovernmental organizations, especially with regard to …

The method to estimate contemporary effective population size (N e) based on patterns of
linkage disequilibrium (LD) at unlinked loci has been widely applied to natural and …

Since the first investigation 25 years ago, the application of genetic tools to address
ecological and evolutionary questions in elasmobranch studies has greatly expanded. Major …

Effective population size (N e) controls both the rate of random genetic drift and the
effectiveness of selection and migration, but it is difficult to estimate in nature. In particular …

Genetic biodiversity contributes to individual fitness, species' evolutionary potential, and
ecosystem stability. Temporal monitoring of the genetic status and trends of wild populations' …

We performed population genetic analyses on the A merican eel (A nguilla rostrata) with
three main objectives. First, we conducted the most comprehensive analysis of neutral …
