Abstract excerpt
Effective population size (Ne) determines the amount of genetic diversity and the fate of genetic variants in a species and thus is an essential parameter in evolutionary genetics. There are standard approaches to determine the Ne of evolving species. For example, the long-term Ne of an extant species is calculated based on its unbiased global mutation rate and the neutral genetic diversity of the species....
