Effective population size and Ne/N ratio for two populations of Northern chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) on the edge of the species' distribution range.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Effective population size (Ne) is a fundamental parameter in conservation genetics, providing relevant information on the adaptability and long-term viability of populations. In contrast, wildlife management strategies, particularly for hunted species, often rely on estimates of abundance (N) without incorporating genetic data. Accounting for Ne in wildlife management concepts could add important...
