Phylogeographic breaks and how to find them: An empirical attempt at separating vicariance from isolation by distance in a lizard with restricted dispersal

This study investigates phylogeographic breaks in a lizard species, finding that genetic discontinuities may result from both vicariance and isolation by distance, with limited power to distinguish between them using nuclear markers.

Integrating population genetics to define conservation units from the core to the edge of Rhinolophus ferrumequinum western range

This study uses microsatellite markers to analyze genetic diversity and structure in Rhinolophus ferrumequinum populations across Western Europe, identifying barriers to dispersal and suggesting management units.

Measuring genetic differentiation from Pool-seq data

This paper introduces an unbiased FST estimator for Pool-seq data, demonstrating its superiority over existing methods through simulations and application to prickly sculpin ecotype data.

Demographic inference through approximate-Bayesian-computation skyline plots

This paper introduces an ABC framework for estimating historical effective population sizes and evaluates it on simulated and microsatellite datasets, showing it can detect population contraction, expansion, and stability.
