Integrating tissue‐direct PCR into genetic identification: An upgraded molecular ecology approach to survey fern gametophytes in the field
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Applications in Plant Sciences"
DOI: 10.1002/aps3.11462
Abstract: Abstract Premise The gametophytes of different fern species collected in the field can be difficult to distinguish because of their morphological similarities. Nonetheless, emerging molecular ecology techniques are starting to be used to tackle such… read more here.

Bray‐Curtis (AFD) differentiation in molecular ecology: Forecasting, an adjustment ( A A), and comparative performance in selection detection
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9176
Abstract: Abstract Geographic genetic differentiation measures are used for purposes such as assessing genetic diversity and connectivity, and searching for signals of selection. Confirmation by unrelated measures can minimize false positives. A popular differentiation measure, Bray‐Curtis,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.12548
Abstract: It would not be an exaggeration to say that among molecular technologies, it is PCR (polymerase chain reaction) that underpins the discipline of molecular ecology as we know it today. With PCR, it has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.13075
Abstract: Connectivity and movement patterns of populations are influenced by past and present environmental and biotic factors, which are reflected in genetic relatedness among populations. Methods that estimate the “commute time” between populations based on electrical… read more here.
