Long-term effective population size dynamics of an intensively monitored vertebrate population
Long-term genetic data from intensively monitored natural populations are important for understanding how effective population sizes (N e) can vary over time. We therefore genotyped 1622 common buzzard (Buteo buteo) chicks sampled over 12 consecutive years (2002-2013 inclusive) at 15 microsatellite loci. This data set allowed us to both compare single-sample with temporal approaches and explore te
