A Comparison of Coalescent Estimation Software
Coalescent theory is a method often used by population geneticists in order to make inferences about evolutionary parameters. The coalescent is a stochastic model that approximates ancestral relationships among genes. An understanding of the coalescent pattern of a sample of sequences, along with …

Evolutionary dynamics of speciation and extinction
… transition that arises by mate choice alone. Coalescent theory is then used to explore common descent in evolved phylogenetic tree structures at both the individual and cluster level. Finally, an extinction scenario is implemented where, after reaching a steady-state, a large population …

Genetic Considerations for the Conservation and Management of Yellowstone Cutthroat Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri) in Yellowstone National Park
… AMOVA) and modern (Bayesian assignment tests, coalescent theory, and nested clade analysis) analytical approaches to describe the population genetic subdivision of cutthroat trout spawning populations in Yellowstone Lake and to identify genetically distinct population segments throughout …

Palaeoecology and population demographics of the extinct New Zealand moa (Aves: Dinornithiformes).
… ecology; ancient DNA and its applications; and coalescent theory. The aims and structure of the thesis is then outlined. To investigate the New Zealand palaeoecosystem using moa, it is first necessary to examine the quality of the recent moa fossil record. This is especially important because …
