Effects of religion, economics, and geography on genetic structure of Fogo Island, Newfoundland
Abstract The population structure of Fogo Island, Newfoundland is described using geography, religious affiliation, economic factors (such as the presence of a fish‐packing plant), and genetic markers. Five different analytic methods, R‐matrix analysis, r ii VS. mean per locus heterozygosity, predic...
