MhGeneS: An analytical pipeline to allow for robust microhaplotype genotyping

Article Title: MhGeneS: An analytical pipeline to allow for robust microhaplotype genotyping Authors: Julia C. Geue, Peng Liu, Sonesinh Keobouasone,  Paul Wilson & Micheline Manseau Abstract: Microhaplotypes are small linked genomic regions comprising two or more single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are being applied in forensics and are emerging in wildlife monitoring studies and genomic epidemiology. Typically, targeted in non-coding regions,…

Hot off the press: Assessing the suitability of a one-time sampling event for close-kin mark-recapture: A caribou case study

Article Title: Assessing the suitability of a one-time sampling event for close-kin mark-recapture: A caribou case study Authors: Brandon Merriell, Micheline Manseau & Paul Wilson Abstract: Abundance estimation is frequently an objective of conservation and monitoring initiatives for threatened and other managed populations. While abundance estimation via capture–mark–recapture or spatially explicit capture–recapture is now common, such approaches are…

Cory Fournier publishes in Global Ecology and Conservation!!

Article Title: Genetic network analysis uncovers spatial variation in diversity and connectivity of a species presenting a continuous distribution Authors: Cory Fournier, Micheline Manseau, Bridget Redquest, Leon Andrew, Allicia Kelly, Dave Hervieux, Troy Hegel,  Gigi Pittoello, Vicki Trim,  Dennis Brannen & Paul Wilson Abstract: The conservation of genetic diversity and connectivity is essential for the long-term persistence and adaptive ability of a species. Recent calls have been made for the inclusion of genetic…
