The Nature of Race (2015, background): “The situation, however, is complicated since, as Meirmans and Hedrick (2011) among others have noted, common measures of population differentiation such as Fst can be misleading when it comes to making cross-species comparisons concerning population structure because Fst and Fst analogue values are ”
Population stock structure of leatherback turtles (Dermochelyscoriacea) in the Atlantic revealed using mtDNA and microsatellite markers (2013, methodology): “We used several metrics to test for differentiation between rookeries; calculations of v2, FST (Weir and Cockerham 1984), and F 0 ST (Meirmans and Hedrick 2011) were performed using custom scripts coded in R Development Core Team (2011, Archer unpublished).”
Blind to morphology: genetics identifies several widespread ecologically common species and few endemics among Indo‐Pacific cauliflower corals (Pocillopora, Scleractinia) (2013, methodology): “The degree and significance of genetic differentiation (RST and FST; Meirmans & Hedrick, 2011) among genotypes between and within lineages, or types, that were defined by DNA sequence analysis were further examined using genalex 6.4 (Peakall & Smouse, 2006).”
Fragmentation and patch size shape genetic structure of brook trout populations (2013, methodology): “We used Meirmans and Hedrick's unbiased estimator GST (Meirmans and Hedrick 2011) for estimates of overall and pairwise FST ′ .”
Bridging the gap: a genetic assessment framework for population‐level threatened plant conservation prioritization and decision‐making (2016, background): “Wright’s FST (Wright, 1951) is the most commonly applied metric to quantify population differentiation, with various analogues available for different marker types (Holsinger & Weir, 2009; Meirmans & Hedrick, 2011).”
Strong maternal fidelity and natal philopatry shape genetic structure in North Pacific humpback whales (2013, positive): “…below the average single-locus value Mar Ecol Prog Ser 494: 291–306, 2013 mentary calculations of FST for mtDNA and adjusted F’ST for microsatellites (Meirmans & Hedrick 2011), as well as Mantel tests for the correlations of the pairwise FST values, were calculated in GENODIVE (Meirmans & Van…”
mmod: an R library for the calculation of population differentiation statistics (2012, methodology): “G ″ ST (Hedrick 2005; Meirmans & Hedrick 2011) is based on G ST but is corrected to account for the observed value of H S and the number of subpopulations being considered.”
Quantifying the strength of migratory connectivity (2017, background): “Therefore, the strength of migratory connectivity is a demographic metric, like age ratios, fertility rates, and genetic relatedness (e.g., Fst; Meirmans & Hedrick, 2011), with profound consequences for populations and species.”
How did this snail get here? Several dispersal vectors inferred for an aquatic invasive species (2013, background): “When the FSH value of the park (0.11; Table 2) was considered in comparison with the expected heterozygosity (0.48, the maximum possible value of FSH), the populations in the park were found to be relatively isolated (Charlesworth, 1998; Meirmans & Hedrick, 2011).”
GenAlEx 6.5: genetic analysis in Excel. Population genetic software for teaching and research—an update (2012, methodology): “…the calculation of G 0 ST , G 00 ST and Jost’s D est , providing [0,1]-standardized allele frequency-based estimators of population genetic structure, following Meirmans and Hedrick (2011), testing the null by random permutation and estimating variances via jackknifing and bootstrapping over loci.”
