A spatial approach to jointly estimate Wright's neighborhood size and long-term effective population size

The paper introduces a statistical model to jointly estimate Wright's neighborhood size and long-term effective population size using individual-level genetic and geographic data.

Paths to annihilation: Genetic and demographic consequences of range contraction patterns

The paper simulates four range contraction patterns to assess their impact on population abundance and genetic diversity in a generalist species.

Ghosts of a structured past: Impacts of ancestral isolation by distance on divergence time estimation

This study shows that ancestral isolation by distance can lead to overestimation of divergence times when using Bayesian coalescent methods.
