Genetic variation, which is generated by mutation, recombination and gene flow, can reduce
the mean fitness of a population, both now and in the future. This ‘genetic load’ has been …

DNA degradation, low DNA concentrations and primer‐site mutations may result in the incorrect
assignment of microsatellite genotypes, potentially biasing population genetic analyses. …

To date, few studies have investigated the effects of inbreeding on sexually selected traits,
although inbreeding depression on such traits can play an important role in the evolution and …

… All these developments are shifting the dynamic co-evolutionary equilibria in favor of
pathogens (van Oosterhout, 2021), putting severe pressure on our society and environment, both …

Population genetic studies provide insights into the evolutionary processes that influence
the distribution of sequence variants within and among wild populations. F ST is among the …

Nonamplified (null) alleles are a common feature of microsatellite genotyping and can bias
estimates of allele and genotype frequencies, thereby hindering population genetic analyses. …

… Sea ice is characterized by temperatures under 0 C, high salinity and, owing to the semi-enclosed
pore system within the ice, low diffusion rates of dissolved gases and exchange of …
