Temporal estimates of effective population size in species with overlapping generations.
The standard temporal method for estimating effective population size (N(e)) assumes that generations are discrete, but it is routinely applied to species with overlapping generations. We evaluated bias in the estimates N(e) caused by violation of this assumption, using simulated data for three model species: humans (type I survival), sparrow (type II), and barnacle (type III). We verify a prev...
متن کاملA note on effective population size with overlapping generations.
A simple derivation is given for a formula obtained previously for the effective size of random-mating populations with overlapping generations. The effective population size is the same as that for a population with discrete generations having the same variance of lifetime family size and the same number of individuals entering the population per generation.
متن کاملEffects of Overlapping Generations on Linkage Disequilibrium Estimates of Effective Population Size
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 widely applied to age-structured species. We simulated genetic data for 21 iteroparous animal and plant species to evaluate two untested hypotheses regarding performance of the single-sample method based on linkage diseq...
متن کاملTemporal allele frequency change and estimation of effective size in populations with overlapping generations.
In this paper we study the process of allele frequency change in finite populations with overlapping generations with the purpose of evaluating the possibility of estimating the effective size from observations of temporal frequency shifts of selectively neutral alleles. Focusing on allele frequency changes between successive cohorts (individuals born in particular years), we show that such cha...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium and effective population size when generations overlap
Estimates of effective population size are critical for species of conservation concern. Genetic datasets can be used to provide robust estimates of this important parameter. However, the methods used to obtain these estimates assume that generations are discrete. We used simulated data to assess the influences of overlapping generations on the estimates of effective size provided by the linkag...
