Can assignment tests measure dispersal?

Molecular ecology - 1 Mar 2004

Berry Oliver, Tocher Mandy D, Sarre Stephen D

Abstract excerpt

Individual-based assignment tests are now standard tools in molecular ecology and have several applications, including the study of dispersal. The measurement of natal dispersal is vital to understanding the ecology of many species, yet the accuracy of assignment tests in situations where natal dispersal is common remains untested in the field. We studied a metapopulation of the grand skink, Oligosoma grande, a...
