Detecting isolation by distance using phylogenies of genes.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1990

Slatkin M, Maddison W P

Abstract excerpt

We introduce a method for analyzing phylogenies of genes sampled from a geographically structured population. A parsimony method can be used to compute s, the minimum number of migration events between pairs of populations sampled, and the value of s can be used to estimate the effective migration rate M, the value of Nm in an island model with local populations of size N and a migration rate m that would yield...
