I’ve just uploaded Project #2. As usual, you can find it either from the Lecture Schedule page or from the direct link below. This project is different from any of the lab exercises you’ve done so far. There isn’t data to analyze, and there aren’t simulations to do. Instead, there’s a paper by Robin Waples and David Teel to read: Conservation Genetics of Pacific Salmon I. Temporal Changes in Allele Frequency. [1]This link takes you to the website of Conservation Biology. I can’t seem to get to the full-text of the paper from off-campus, even though the VPN, but there is a freely available version at: … Continue reading After reading the paper, I have five questions for you to answer. When I grade this project, I will be evaluating how well you use what you’ve learned about genetic drift and natural selection to answer the questions. None of the answers need to be more than a couple of paragraphs. Feel free to submit them in whatever form you find convenient, Word document, R notebook, PDF, or Pages are formats I know I can handle easily. If you send it in a form I don’t recognize, I’ll be in touch.
