1)
Inferences about population dynamics (e.g., census size fluctuations or
hatchery introgression) based on genetic data rely on accurately estimating
the frequencies of alleles observed.
|
|
2)
Several recent genetic studies have reported inconsistencies in allele
frequency estimates taken from a single population at multiple time periods,
with some temporal variation high enough in magnitude to cause erroneous
conclusions about population differentiation
|
|
3) If
allele frequency differences are observed between temporally replicated
collections from the same location, possible explanations for the result are
the population is experiencing genetic drift, there is gene flow from a
differentiated stock, or the collection itself is not a valid population
sample.
