Effective population sizes and migration rates in fragmented populations of an endangered insect (Coenagrion mercuriale: Odonata).

The Journal of animal ecology - 1 Jul 2007

Watts Phillip C, Saccheri Ilik J, Kemp Stephen J, Thompson David J

Abstract excerpt

1. Effective population sizes (N(e)) and migration rates (m) are critical evolutionary parameters that impact on population survival and determine the relative influence of selection and genetic drift. While the parameter m is well-studied in animal populations, N(e) remains challenging to measure and consequently is only rarely estimated, particularly in insect taxa. 2. We used demographic and genetic methods to...
