Programs

ET -- EventTree <To Come> (Michal Palczewski and Peter Beerli)
[icon] Migrate (Peter Beerli) estimates migration rates and population sizes for various data types, it can run on a computer clusters and can parallelize over loci or replicates. THIS LINK WILL TRANSPORT YOU TO THE OFFICIAL MIGRATE WEBSITE. (a quick link to prelease-versions is here)
[icon] LAMARC program (Mary Kuhner and friends, some time ago I was part of this team) LAMARC is a C++ program that allows the joint estimation of several population genetics parameters, more than migrate, but this also comes at a price: speed, it is also not parallelized [as of Spring 2007]
[icon] Diverge (Peter Beerli) a simple tool for estimating divergence time of two individuals from different species, integrating over a wide range of possible ancestral population sizes. distributed in source and command line binaries for MacOSX. This program is "user-nasty" and not for the faint of heart.
Diverge3D (Peter Beerli) a simple tool for estimating divergence time of two individuals from different species]. It produces the likelihood surface for two parameters: ancestral population size and divergence time. Distributed in source only. This program is "user-nasty".

Talks and Papers

[icon] Coalescence and Madagascar (PDF) (2006): A talk given at the NESCENT workshop meeting on Patterns of Diversity in Madagascar [June 13-17].
[icon] Bayes-ML-comparison (January 2006): Comparison of Bayesian and maximum likelihood inference of population genetics parameters. Bioinformatics (links follow to journal-website and allow you to get a free PDF of the article) [Abstract]
[icon] Book review: Statistical methods in (molecular) evolution (2006) Evolution 60: 421-423. Discussion of the great book "Statistical methods in molecular evolution" edited by Rasmus Nielsen.
[icon] Coalescence I (PDF) (2002): A talk I give in the Bioinformatics series at FSU. Introduction to the Coalescent and Markov chain Monte Carlo.
[icon] Coalescence II (PDF) (2002): Second part of the Bioinformatics talk at FSU, examples of extensions of the basic coalescence theory.
[icon] Two chapters and two lectures from a NATO-ASI workshop "Molecular Ecology": (PDF) (1998). The first part is discussing situations where FST-based gene flow estimators fail and introduces also a preliminary description of maximum likelihood estimation of gene flow using the coalescent. The second part gives an overview of programs to analyse population data. The last two give short summaries of my lectures I gave at the workshop.
[icon] PhD thesis on Genetic isolation and calibration of an average protein clock in western Palearctic water frogs of the Aegean region (1994). After loosing the original files, I finally scanned (thanks to Mimi) my PhD thesis.
