A new and almost perfectly accurate approximation of the eigenvalue effective population size of a dioecious population: comparisons with other estimates and detailed proofs by De Meeûs, Thierry, Noûs, Camille

The impact of social complexity on the efficacy of natural selection in termites by Roux, Camille, Ha, Alice, Weyna, Arthur, Lode, Morgan, Romiguier, Jonathan

“…In eusocial species, reproduction is monopolized by a few reproductive individuals.From the perspective of population genetics, this implies that the effective population size (Ne) of these organisms is likely to be smaller compared to solitary species, as has been proposed in the literature for eusocial hymenoptera. …”

Efficient k-mer based curation of raw sequence data: application in Drosophila suzukii by Gautier, Mathieu

“…Overall, the present analysis allowed the definition of a large curated dataset consisting of > 60 population samples representative of the worldwide genetic diversity, which may be valuable for further population genetics studies on D. suzukii. More generally, while we advocate careful sample identification and verification prior to sequencing, the proposed framework is simple and computationally efficient enough to be included as a routine post-hoc quality check prior to any data analysis and prior to data submission to public repositories. …”

The demographic history of the wild crop relative Brachypodium distachyon is shaped by distinct past and present ecological niches by Minadakis, Nikolaos, Williams, Hefin, Horvath, Robert, Caković, Danka, Stritt, Christoph, Thieme, Michael, Bourgeois, Yann, Roulin, Anne C.

“…We present here the B. distachyon diversity panel, which encompasses 332 fully sequenced accessions covering the whole species distribution from Spain to Iraq. By combining population genetics, niche modeling and landscape genomics, we suggest that B. distachyon recolonized Europe and the Middle East following the last glacial maximum. …”
