Beyond FST: Analysis of population genetic data for conservation (2004, methodology): “For example, the program HICKORY (Holsinger et al. 2002) estimates F ST from dominant markers such as AFLPs using Bayesian inference, and Weir and Hill (2002) have provided an updated, maximumlikelihood based estimator of Weir and Cockerham’s h (1984).”
Likelihood-Free Inference of Population Structure and Local Adaptation in a Bayesian Hierarchical Model (2010, methodology): “The Weir and Cockerham (1984) estimator of FST, computed as in Beaumont and Nichols (1996).”
INVITED REVIEW: What is a population? An empirical evaluation of some genetic methods for identifying the number of gene pools and their degree of connectivity (2006, methodology): “Although the most commonly used method (and the one used here; Weir & Cockerham 1984) is generally the least biased, other estimators have smaller variance (Weir & Hill 2002).”
Inference of Population Splits and Mixtures from Genome-Wide Allele Frequency Data (2012, background): “Additionally, a multivariate normal model was used by Coop et al. [48] and Weir and Hill [49], although these authors did not explicitly model the variance-covariance matrix in terms of a tree.”
Phylogeography and conservation genetics of endangered European Margaritiferidae (Bivalvia: Unionoidea) (2003, methodology): “Genetic structure was hierarchically examined using an analysis of variance framework (Weir & Cockerham, 1984) as implemented in the ARLEQUIN package (Schneider et al., 1997).”
Metapopulation genetic structure and migration pathways in the land snail Helix aspersa: influence of landscape heterogeneity (2003, methodology): “As measurements of genetic differentiation, classical Wright’s F -Statistics (FST) were estimated following the Weir and Cockerham (1984) ANOVA procedure using an updated version of FSTAT (Goudet 1995).”
Hypothesis Testing and Power Calculations for Taxonomic-Based Human Microbiome Data (2012, methodology): “The method of moments estimators of p k f g are [25] and of h is [24,30] ^ hh ~ X where”
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…”
Vicariance patterns in the Mediterranean Sea: east–west cleavage and low dispersal in the endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica (2007, methodology): “…(1996) showed that the eigenvalues of each axis are analogous to partial Fst. Genetic differentiation (Fst) was estimated between pairs of populations with the estimator h (Weir & Cockerham, 1984), and its significance was tested using 1000 random permutations of the individuals between samples.”
