Genetic detection of sex-biased dispersal.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jun 1999

Mossman C A, Waser P M

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the application of a recently developed genetic test for sex bias in dispersal. This test determines an animal's 'assignment index' or the expected frequency of its genotype in the population in which it is captured. Low assignment indices indicate a low probability of being born locally. We investigated the use of this test with the white-footed mouse, Peromyscus leucopus, in which dispersal is...
