• The computer program structure for assigning individuals to populations: easy to use but easier to misuse (2017, methodology): “A close inspection of the simulation studies (Kalinowski 2011; Neophytou 2014; Puechmaille 2016) described above shows that they invariably used the default ancestry prior in analysing the simulated data.”
• StructureSelector: A web‐based software to select and visualize the optimal number of clusters using multiple methods (2018, methodology): “These new estimators were found to be more accurate than the Ln Pr(X|K) and DK method on both evenly and unevenly sampled datasets (Puechmaille, 2016), thus providing appealing alternatives for the selection of optimal Received: 7 June 2017 | Revised: 1 September 2017 | Accepted: 12 September 2017”
