1 Estimating genetic diversity (  within populations  =  a function of the number of polymorphic sites in a population (S) “Watterson’s theta” Allele 1: ACTGGCTGAACTT Allele 2: ACTGGTTGAACTT Allele 3: GCTGGTTGAACCT * * * S=3 n = number of alleles

2 A second estimate of 4N  Allele 1: ACTGGCTGAACTT Allele 2: ACTGGTTGAACTT Allele 3: GCTGGTTGAACCT k = number of differences between pairs of alleles i and j n = number of alleles

3 Testing neutrality Tajima’s D statistic proportional to: Under neutrality, Tajima’s D ≈ 0

4 Under directional selection, Tajima’s D < 0 Testing neutrality

5 1. Gene trees don’t always match the species tree 2. Gene divergence often precedes population divergence Gene tree Species tree T/4N e 2N e Two rules of gene trees near the species boundary

6 30 gene trees from Australian finches Jennings & Edwards (2005) Evolution 59, 2033-2047. P. acuticaudaP. heckiP. cincta

7 Gene flow erodes population monophyly Migration event reconstructed by parsimony

8 Counting the number of interpopulation coalescent events

9 s as an index of divergence time

10 s as an index of gene flow

11 Gene flow erodes population monophyly

12 Genetic differentiation between populations or b, between populations; w, within populations

13 Identifying outlier loci using Fst

14 Identifying loci under pollution-driven selection using Fst and outlier loci

15 Distribution of F st among loci in humans

16 Gene tree monophyly as an indicator of natural selection European corn borer
