Assessing population structure: F(ST) and related measures.

Molecular ecology resources - 1 Jan 2011

Meirmans Patrick G, Hedrick Philip W

Abstract excerpt

Although F(ST) is widely used as a measure of population structure, it has been criticized recently because of its dependency on within-population diversity. This dependency can lead to difficulties in interpretation and in the comparison of estimates among species or among loci and has led to the development of two replacement statistics, F'(ST) and D. F'(ST) is the normal F(ST) standardized by the maximum value...
