Tiny estimates of the Ne/N ratio in marine fishes: Are they real?
RS Waples - Journal of Fish Biology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Theory and empirical estimates agree that the ratio of effective size (N e) to census size (N)
falls roughly in the range 0· 1–0· 5 for most populations. In a number of marine species …

Robust estimates of a high Ne/N ratio in a top marine predator, southern bluefin tuna
Genetic studies of several marine species with high fecundity have produced “tiny” estimates
(≤ 10− 3) of the ratio of effective population size (N e) to adult census size (N), suggesting …

Pseudoreplication in genomic‐scale data sets
In genomic‐scale data sets, loci are closely packed within chromosomes and hence provide
correlated information. Averaging across loci as if they were independent creates …
