Abstract: <p>The Pumpkinseed (Lepomis gibbosus) is a sunfish that is endemic to eastern portions of Canada and the United States. During the late 19th century, the species was introduced into Europe, and it is now present in over 28 countries. Previous attempts to determine the characteristics that can predict the spread of non-indigenous species have been largely unsuccessful, but new evidence… more

Name(s): Creator (cre): Alshamlih, Mohammed M., Thesis advisor (ths): Wilson, Chris, Degree committee member (dgc): Freeland, Joanna, Degree committee member (dgc): Kyle, Chris, Degree granting institution (dgg): Trent University
Abstract: <p>Effective population size (Ne) is a key concept in population genetics, evolutionary biology and conservation biology that describes an important facet of genetic diversity and the capacity of populations to respond to future evolutionary pressures. The importance of Ne in management and conservation of wild populations encouraged the development of numerous genetic estimators which rely… more
