A Comparative Analysis of Long-Term Effective Population Sizes Across Eukaryotes.

Abstract excerpt

The effective population size (Ne) is a fundamental parameter in population genetics. Despite its central importance, there are relatively few estimates of Ne available and there have been limited attempts to compare values across eukaryotes. Here, we estimate long-term effective population sizes for 120 species, broadly distributed across the eukaryotic tree of life, using nucleotide diversity and direct...
