Our new study with @teamswiftparrot constructed one of the largest genetics dataset for a #threatened #parrot species and compared population genetic estimates between marker types. @Ecol_Evol

Understanding how marker type affects estimates of population genetic parameters is important in the context of conservation, especially if the accuracy of estimates has a bearing on the actions...
