Genetics in conservation management: Revised recommendations for the 50/500 rules, Red List criteria and population viability analyses (2014, background): “Information on the Ne/N ratio is required for this conversion, but comprehensive estimates that encompass all relevant variables are only available for 100 species (Frankham, 1995; Palstra and Ruzzante, 2008; Palstra and Fraser, 2012).”
Estimation of census and effective population sizes: the increasing usefulness of DNA-based approaches (2010, methodology): “Two-sample Ne estimators The most widely used and well evaluated estimators of Ne are those based on two samples and temporal change in allele frequencies (Krimbas and Tsakas 1971, Waples 1989; Luikart et al. 1999; Wang 2001; Tallmon et al. 2004; Jorde and Ryman 2007; Palstra and Ruzzante 2008).”
Implications of different species concepts for conserving biodiversity (2012, background): “Frankham (1995) and Palstra and Ruzzante (2008) reported average ratios of 0.11 and 0.15 for nuclear loci, respectively.”
Population genetics of Australian white sharks reveals fine-scale spatial structure, transoceanic dispersal events and low effective population sizes (2012, methodology): “The program LDNe Version 1.31 (Waples & Do 2008) was used to produce CNe estimates for Australia as a whole and for each region, since CNe estimates may be biased where population structure exists (Palstra & Ruzzante 2008).”
Linkage disequilibrium estimates of contemporary Ne using highly variable genetic markers: a largely untapped resource for applied conservation and evolution (2009, methodology): “The two-sample (temporal) method, which depends on random changes in allele frequency over time, has been by far the most widely applied, and it was the only method considered in a recent meta-analysis of genetic estimates of Ne in natural populations (Palstra and Ruzzante 2008).”
Paradigm shifts in marine fisheries genetics: ugly hypotheses slain by beautiful facts (2008, result): “1996) and in salmonid fishes (Palstra and Ruzzante 2008).”
High genetic differentiation and cross-shelf patterns of genetic diversity among Great Barrier Reef populations of Symbiodinium (2009, background): “Population genetic studies provide powerful information on factors that determine the resilience of ecosystems, such as the genetic diversity of key species or groups (Frankham 2005; Willi et al. 2006; Palstra and Ruzzante 2008 ), the extent of their connectivity with surrounding populations (Palum”
Genetic variation and effective population size in isolated populations of coastal cutthroat trout (2010, methodology): “In addition, if the analysis by Palstra and Ruzzante (2008) for temporal Ne estimators applies to onesample estimators, our samples sizes of approximately 30 may have low power to detect large Ne.”
