International audience; This study provides predictive equations for Shannon's information in a finite population, which are intuitive and simple enough to see wide scale use in molecular ecology and population genetics. A comprehensive profile of ge

The effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter in evolutionary and population genetics. Single-sample Ne estimation provides an alternative to traditional approaches requiring two or more samples. Single-sample methods assume that the study po

In long-term studies of wild animals, individuals are often caught initially as adults, and so their age is unknown. To better understand age structure, cohort effects and life-history traits, it is desirable to ascribe approximate ages to individual

Management practices often aim to increase the level of gene flow by either: introducing animals from captive breeding programs, translocating animals from abundant areas, or increasing the chance of animals dispersing between populations by creating

1. Differential male reproductive success is commonplace in mammals and frequently attributed to variation in morphological traits that provide individuals with a competitive advantage in female defence mating systems. Other mammalian mating systems,

The pukeko (Porphyrio porphyrio melanotus) is widespread in New Zealand, and is the closest living relative to the endangered takahe (Porphyrio mantelli), which has a relatively high rate of infertility. In this study, sperm collected from a number o

Multimale mating (MMM) is common in female mammals, but our understanding of its evolutionary significance in this taxon lags behind that in others (e.g. invertebrates and birds). To date, the majority of research on mammalian MMM has been conducted

Previously limited to laboratory studies, the deleterious effects of inbreeding are now being revealed in a number of wild systems. Female North American red squirrels, Tamiasciurus hudsonicus, show high levels of multimale mating and little to no ov

Conservation and population genetic studies are sometimes hampered by insufficient quantities of high quality DNA. One potential way to overcome this problem is through the use of whole genome amplification (WGA) kits. We performed rolling circle WGA

We isolated 18 polymorphic microsatellite loci to be used for pedigree analysis in a wild population of North American red squirrels, Tamiasciurus hudsonicus. Allelic diversity and observed heterozygosity ranged from six to 13 and 0.39 to 0.89, respe
