Gene flow and genetic structure of the aquatic macrophyte Sparganium emersum in a linear unidirectional river (2009, background): “The utility of these estimates, however, has been questioned because of the many underlying, biologically unrealistic, assumptions (Whitlock & McCauley, 1999; Neigel, 2002), among which is the assumed symmetry in the rate of gene flow among populations.”
Assessing population structure: FST and related measures (2011, methodology): “This statistic has been used for several decades and, despite its shortcomings, continued use will allow a better comparison with those past studies, especially because reanalysis of the old data is mostly not possible (Neigel 2002).”
Increased genetic differentiation in a specialist versus a generalist bee: implications for conservation (2006, methodology): “FST is a robust measure of genetic differentiation (Whitlock and McCauley 1999; Neigel 2002) and we used it to compare levels of genetic differentiation between populations of specialists and generalists.”
Contribution of genetics and genomics to seagrass biology and conservation (2007, background): “Hence, measures of migration based on FST will not necessarily reflect the average number of migrants per generation, but rather the inherent variance in FST that is recorded as a population experiences genetic drift until equilibrium is reached (reviewed in Neigel, 2002).”
The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “analysis of marine bivalves from the genus Lasaea, Ó Foighil et al. (2001) also suggested that rafting followed by isolation has repeatedly influenced evolutionary processes. Rafting may also affect evolution in species with planktonic larvae. For example, Waters & Roy (2003) stated with respect to ”
Unified Framework to Evaluate Panmixia and Migration Direction Among Multiple Sampling Locations (2010, methodology): “Many programs (Hudson et al. 1992b; Michalakis and Excoffier 1996; Rousset 1996; Neigel 2002; Weir and Hill 2002; Holsinger et al. 2002) use allele frequencies to calculate FST for pairs of locations or use Fisher’s exact test to reject panmixia for the whole or subsets of the data (Raymond and…”
Comparative organization of chloroplast, mitochondrial and nuclear diversity in plant populations. (2005, methodology): “Previous comparisons have shown some discrepancy between estimates of subdivision based on different nuclear markers for a given species (e.g. Nybom 2004) but no systematic bias has been reported (Vandewoestijne & Baguette 2002; Nybom 2004).”
Phylogeography of New Zealand's coastal benthos (2009, methodology): “Despite controversy over the use of F-statistics as a measure of relative differentiation (Hedrick 1999, 2005; Neigel 2002; Palumbi 2003; Bradbury & Betzen 2007; Jost 2008), FST and its analogues are the measures of genetic differentiation most frequently used in population genetics and therefore…”
Beyond FST: Analysis of population genetic data for conservation (2004, methodology): “These methods have provided population geneticists with the tools to analyze their data and robust, meaningful ways in which to interpret data from natural populations (Weir and Cockerham 1984; Slatkin and Barton 1989; Neigel 2002).”
Conceptual issues in local adaptation (2004, background): “Reliability of the estimates can be strongly affected if the assumptions are violated (e.g. Neigel 2002; Burczyk & Chybicki 2004).”
