Differential patterns of diversity at neutral and adaptive loci in endangered Rhodeus pseudosericeus populations
Abstract Given the fact that threatened species are often composed of isolated small populations, spatial continuity or demography of the populations may be major factors that have shaped the species’ genetic diversity. Thus, neutral loci have been the most commonly-used markers in conservation gene...
