Up to Week 7: Role of simulation modeling

Simulations for theoretical expectations

Posted by Melanie Murphy at March 12. 2009

Dear Niko, Erin and Sam -




Very nice lecture with good examples on how simulations can be used in landscape genetics.  Another use (that you allude to) is using simulation to get a handle on theoretical expectations (from a pop gen standpoint) with landscape effects.  One slightly older reference that focuses on the population genetic effects of landscape processes is:


Ezard, T. H. G., and J. M. J. Travis. 2006. The impact of habitat loss and fragmentation on genetic drift and fixation time. Oikos 114:367-375.




It might be worth a passing mention, even if not focused on in the lecture, just to make participants aware.

Excellent point - the Epperson stuff covers this a little bit, but the OIKOS study is even better...I'll think about including it!
