    Canada Research Chair in behavioural ecology and GRECA, Departement des Sciences Biologiques, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, CP 8888 succursale centre ville, Montreal, Quebec H3C 3P8, Canada
    Proc Biol Sci 274:527-33. 2007
    ..This study shows the importance of longitudinal genetic surveys for understanding the mechanisms that regulate genetic diversity in wild populations...

    R Kaeuffer
    Departement des Sciences Biologiques, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
    Heredity (Edinb) 99:374-80. 2007
    ..We showed that a high r(LD) value increases the probability of detecting spurious clustering. We propose to use r(LD) as an index to base a decision on whether or not to use a pair of loci in a clustering analysis...

    Renaud Kaeuffer
    Departement des Sciences Biologiques, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, CP 8888 succursale centre ville, Montreal, QC, Canada H3C 3P8
    Mol Ecol 16:4482-92. 2007
    ..Based on individual-based simulations, we suggest that despite a strongly female-biased sex ratio, the effects of the mating system on the effective population size more closely resemble random mating or weak polygyny...

    Renaud Kaeuffer
    Departement des Sciences Biologiques, Universite du Quebec a Montreal, CP 8888 succursale centre ville, Montreal, QC, Canada H3B 3P8
    Biol Lett 4:504-7. 2008
    ..The genetics of embryo number coupled with cyclic dynamics could play a central role in promoting genetic variation in this population...
