I want to look at the level of gene flow / migration between fish populations sampled at 10 km intervals within a river system to see if there is a link between genetic and morphological variation between the populations. I'm using microsatellite loci and the fish have only been present in the system for 40-60 generations.
I was intending on using BayesAss as its meant for contemporary migration, but fear that it will only look at
Hi Genevieve,
To facilitate computation, every program has some assumption about data property and underlying evolutionary process. You need choose a method that fits your evolutionary scenario and that your data meet the key assumptions of the methods, as well. See
Computer programs for population genetics data analysis: a survival guide
L Excoffier, G Heckel - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2006
for some general idea.
cheers
