Abstract excerpt
A new method is developed to estimate the contemporary effective population size (Ne ) from linkage disequilibrium (LD) between SNPs without information on their location, which is the usual scenario in non-model species. The general theory of linkage disequilibrium is extended to include the contribution of full-sibs to the measure of LD, leading naturally to the estimation of Ne in monogamous and polygamous...
