Background Effective population size (N e) is related to genetic variability and is a basic
parameter in many models of population genetics. A number of methods for inferring current …

Climate change can markedly impact biology, population ecology, and spatial patterns of
eruptive insects due to the direct influence of temperature on insect development and …

Translocations are becoming increasingly popular as appropriate management strategies
for the genetic restoration of endangered species and populations. Although a few studies …

Population bottlenecks may reduce genetic variation and potentially increase the risk of
extinction. Here, we present the first study to use historic samples to analyse loss of variation …

Background Quaternary climatic oscillations had dramatic effects on species evolution. In
northern latitudes, populations had to survive the coldest periods in refugial areas and …

The population genetics study is crucial as it helps in understanding the epidemiological
aspects of dengue and help improving a vector control measures. This research aims to …

Nested clade phylogeographic analysis (NCPA) has become a popular method for
reconstructing the history of populations across species ranges. Ever since its invention in …

Emerging Bayesian analytical approaches offer increasingly sophisticated means of
reconstructing historical population dynamics from genetic data, but have been little applied …

Environmental change has a wide range of ecological consequences, including species
extinction and range expansion. Many studies have shown that insect species respond …

Understanding the demography of species over recent history (eg< 100 years) is critical in
studies of ecology and evolution, but records of population history are rarely available …
