What is genetic differentiation, and how should we measure it--GST, D, neither or both?

Molecular ecology - 1 Sept 2014

Verity Robert, Nichols Richard A

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of the fixation index, F(ST), have been used as measures of population differentiation for many decades. However, there have been persistent voices in the literature suggesting that these statistics do not measure true differentiation. In particular, the statistics Nei's G(ST) and Wier and Cockerham's θ have been criticized for being 'constrained' to not equal one in some situations that seem to...
