Lefèvre François, Gallais André
Abstract excerpt
Nei's decomposition of total expected heterozygosity in subdivided populations into within- and between-subpopulation components, HS and DST , respectively, is a classical tool in the conservation and management of genetic resources. Reviewing why this is not a decomposition into independent terms of within- and between-subpopulation gene diversity, we illustrate how this approach can be misleading because it...
