Reposted by Joan Ferrer ObiolEmily Josephs @emjo.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Hey, Miles' @milesroberts.bsky.social beautiful paper showing that sequence diversity missed by standard methods contributes to Lewontin's paradox is officially published in @evolletters.bsky.social. academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...academic.oup.comk-mer-based diversity scales with population size proxies more than nucleotide diversity in a meta-analysis of 98 plant speciesAbstract. A key prediction of neutral theory is that the level of genetic diversity in a population should scale with population size. However, as was note 39955

Note, I am not involved in ANY of these methods; but I see them as things people are often asking of comparative data but have been surprised at how infrequently they have been cited. 414967
