I am not sure where this would fit, but seems like we should mention use of genetic data as point data (and also introduction of point pattern statistics).  For example:

1) distribution of mtDNA haplotypes in relation to landscape features/process

2) spatial distribution of allele(s)

3) identification of cryptic species and their spatial distribution (or non-cryptic species using non-invasive methods)

4) Genetic markers used  to identify disease

These methods are not used frequently (yet) and with everything to cover may not be worth > time.  However, I think it would be beneficial to at least have a slide mentioning differnent ways to use genetic data.

I briefly touch on # 1 and #2 in the gene flow lecture week 3...I'll think about whether I can emphasize more or make it more clear...perhaps it fits best there?  However, that lecture is really full of different methods and might already be overwhelming....some we never come back to like AMOVA so perhaps could be dropped.
