• Effects of population characteristics and structure on estimates of effective population size in a house sparrow metapopulation 

      Baalsrud, Helle Tessand; Sæther, Bernt-Erik; Hagen, Ingerid Julie; Myhre, Ane Marlene; Ringsby, Thor Harald; Pärn, Henrik; Jensen, Henrik (Journal article, 2014)
      Effective population size (Ne) is a key parameter to understand evolutionary processes and the viability of endangered populations as it determines the rate of genetic drift and inbreeding. Low Ne can lead to inbreeding ...

      Ancient DNA (aDNA) approaches have been successfully used to infer the long-term impacts of climate change, domestication, and human exploitation in a range of terrestrial species. Nonetheless, studies investigating such ...
    • Population characteristics and estimates of effective population size in a house sparrow metapopulation 

      Baalsrud, Helle Tessand (Master thesis, 2011)
      Effective population size (Ne) is a fundamental concept within biology and can be defined as the size of an ideal Wright-Fisher population in which the rate of genetic drift is the same as in the observed population. Natural ...
