Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The analysis of molecular variation within and between populations is crucial to establish strategies for conservation as well as to detect the footprint of spatially heterogeneous selection. The traditional estimator of genetic differentiation (F(ST)) has been shown to be misleading if genetic diversity is high. Alternative estimators of F(ST) have been proposed, but their robustness to variation in...
