Sex change and effective population size : implications for population genetic studies in marine fish (2016)
Journal Article
Coscia, I., Chopelet, J., Waples, R., Mann, B., & Mariani, S. (2016). Sex change and effective population size : implications for population genetic studies in marine fish. Heredity, 117, 251-258. https://doi.org/10.1038/hdy.2016.50

Large variance in reproductive success is the primary factor that reduces effective population size (Ne) in
natural populations. In sequentially hermaphroditic (‘sex-changing’) fish, the sex ratio is typically skewed
and biased toward the ‘first’... Read More about Sex change and effective population size : implications for population genetic studies in marine fish.

Levels of self-recruitment within and connectivity among populations are key factors influencing marine population persistence and stock sustainability, as well as the effectiveness of spatially explicit management strategies such as Marine Protected...
