Abstract excerpt
Genetic methods for estimating effective population size ( Ne) or the effective number of breeders ( Nb) have become popular, but comparisons of these estimates with demographic estimates of Ne and Nb are rare, especially in anurans. We used three genetic (linkage disequilibrium, temporal moments, Bayesian coalescent-based method) and three demographic models, the latter considering number of breeding...
