On the neutrality of molecular genetic markers: pedigree analysis of genetic variation in fragmented populations.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2004

Van Oosterhout C, Van Heuven M K, Brakefield P M

Abstract excerpt

Many studies employ molecular markers to infer ecological and evolutionary processes, assuming that variation found at genetic loci offers a reliable representation of stochastic events in natural populations. Increasingly, evidence emerges that molecular markers might not always be selectively n...
