Phylogeography: F-statistics & Population Structure

Introduction to F-statistics: FST = 1 - [(1 - FIT) / (1 - FIS)]

FST as a function of Nem in an island model [NS 04-05]

FST / (1 - FST) measures of genetic differentiation versus geographical distance in Sea Lions [NS 04-07]

FST  measures of genetic differentiation versus geographical distance in Humans [NS 04-08]

Two examples from terrestrial and marine populations found in Newfoundland

Ex.: Genetic structure of an island subspecies of caribou, Rangifer tarandus terranovae [Wilkerson, Mahoney, & Carr 2018]
