Dear ECOLOG Members, As part of a meta-analysis on bee population genetics, I request information regarding population differentiation indices in bees. This request is part of a collaborative study between myself, Shalene Jha (Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin), and Margarita López-Uribe (Postdoctoral Researcher at North Carolina State University).
So far, we have examined studies acquired through the Web of Science, but we would like to increase our sample size with the incorporation of additional studies (published or unpublished). Specifically, we are looking for data sets where bee population genetics analyses have been conducted with: at least 5 microsatellite markers at least 20 unrelated individual per population at least 5 populations f you have one or more data sets that satisfy these criteria and are willing to contribute, please provide us with the reference to your work (if published) and the Fst estimator with 95% CI. We would also be interested in G’st (Hedrick 1995) and Jost’s D (Jost 2008) if you have those available, too. Your contribution would obviously be acknowledged and your publication(s) cited. We’d like to publicly thank the individuals whom we’ve already contacted directly and who generously offered their data. Thank you very much in advance Antonella Soro [email protected] *********************************************** Dr. Antonella Soro Institut für Biologie / Allgemeine Zoologie Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg Hoher Weg 8 D-06120 Halle (Saale) Germany t: 0049 345 55 26 504 f: 0049 345 55 27 428
