Inferring the Demographic History and Inheritance Mode of Tetraploid Species Using ABC
Genomic patterns of diversity and divergence are impacted by certain life history traits, reproductive systems, and demographic history. The latter...

Population dynamics and demographic history of Eurasian collared lemmings
BackgroundAncient DNA studies suggest that Late Pleistocene climatic changes had a significant effect on population dynamics in Arctic species. The...

Indirect genetic effects are shaped by demographic history and ecology in Arabidopsis thaliana
The phenotype of an individual can be affected by the genes of its conspecifics through indirect genetic effects (IGEs). IGEs have been studied...

Population genetic structure and demographic history of Rhodeus atremius suigensis, an endangered bitterling in Japan
Demographic events can shape genetic diversity through genetic drift, often leaving a persistent signal in the genetic characteristics of species. Rhod...

Phylogeography and demographic history of the subterranean rodents belonging to the Ctenomys talarum phylogenetic group (Rodentia: Ctenomyidae)
The genus Ctenomys is the most speciose of all known subterranean rodents. Currently, most species of this genus are included in eight distinctive...

Archaeogenetic analysis of Neolithic sheep from Anatolia suggests a complex demographic history since domestication
Sheep were among the first domesticated animals, but their demographic history is little understood. Here we analyzed nuclear polymorphism and...

The first demographic data and life-history trait of Iranian endemic toad, Bufotes luristanicus
The study of growth in amphibians is essential because it directly affects the moment of sexual maturity, timing of reproductive events, fecundity,...
-
Demographic Change
We often assume constant population size in simulation models. One reason for this assumption is to facilitate easier interpretation of results. As...
