Characterizing source-sink dynamics with genetic parentage assignments.
Source-sink dynamics have been suggested to characterize the population structure of many species, but the prevalence of source-sink systems in nature is uncertain because of inherent challenges in estimating migration rates among populations. Migration rates are often difficult to estimate directly with demographic methods, and indirect genetic methods are subject to a variety of assumptions t...
متن کاملTied up in nots over genetic parentage.
re we ever going to do anything about assisted repro-duction? Fertilizing eggs in a dish to have children chafes because such a momentous event lacks a clear regulatory framework. Occasional scandals and now the prospect of embryonic screening bring on the shivers. The temptation is to do something now before greater problems develop. Fukuyama and Furger would create a whole new federal agency ...

Abstract Dispersal kernels are the standard method for describing and predicting the relationship between dispersal strength and distance. Statistically-fitted dispersal kernels allow observations of a l...
متن کاملBayesian parentage analysis reliably controls the number of false assignments in natural populations.
Parentage analysis in natural populations is a powerful tool for addressing a wide range of ecological and evolutionary questions. However, identifying parent-offspring pairs in samples collected from natural populations is often more challenging than simply resolving the Mendelian pattern of shared alleles. For example, large numbers of pairwise comparisons and limited numbers of genetic marke...
متن کاملGenetically reconstructed pedigrees: The costs and benefits of using full-sibling structure to constrain parentage assignments
22 We present a simple yet effective method to improve parentage assignment 23 (PA) accuracy an average of 47% compared to the PA programs PEDAPP 24 (39%), PASOS (53%), and CERVUS (50%) as measured over a wide range of 25 simulated scenarios. The method, termed sibship constraint (SC), uses the 26 results of sibship reconstruction (SR) to constrain assignments from PA output. 27 It works by ass...
