Workshop on Ne, effective population size

Welcome to a half day online workshop arranged by G‐BiKE on recent issues relating to contemporary effective population size (Ne) in relation to monitoring of genetic diversity. The aim of the workshop is to highlight some new important insights that is of relevance in applying Ne as an indicator for conservation genetic status. To discuss these topics with the aim to explore if there are some general recommendations for practical management that can be agreed on.
