Dear ECOLOG members

if you have seen our announcement of three weeks ago and you have a study that 
satisfies the 
criteria specified then (see below), we would be very grateful, if you could 
contact us in the next 
week.

Thank you

 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(published or unpublished).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

 If 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
