A comparison of single-sample effective size estimators using empirical toad (Bufo calamita) population data: genetic compensation and population size-genetic diversity correlations.

Abstract excerpt

The accuracy and precision of four single-sample estimators of effective population size, N(e) (heterozygote excess, linkage disequilibrium, Bayesian partial likelihood and sibship analysis) were compared using empirical data (microsatellite genotypes) from multiple natterjack toad (Bufo calamita) populations in Britain (n = 16) and elsewhere in Europe (n = 10). Census size data were available for the British...
