Is the F(ST) a good predictor of extinction?

The American naturalist - 1 Jan 2011

Robert Alexandre

Abstract excerpt

The organization of neutral genetic variation has long been used as a diagnostic tool to infer demographic properties of populations, and recently it has been shown that this information can also be used to estimate the magnitude of genetic deterioration in small or fragmented populations. A furt...
