Coupling Genetic and Demographic Data to Reveal Dispersal Processes in Emperor Penguins by Jimmy Garnier, Gemma Clucas, Jane Younger, Bilgecan Sen, Christophe Barbraud, Michelle LaRue, Alexander D. Fraser, Sara Labrousse, Stéphanie Jenouvrier

“…Here, we present a modeling framework to assess the dispersal characteristics and behaviors of a metapopulation when observations provide information on its neutral genetic structure for a restricted sampling of locations. Our mechanistic‐statistical model couples a deterministic model capturing the spatio‐temporal dynamics of four genetic clusters across all breeding colonies by integrating demographic processes with genetic projections, with a probabilistic observation model describing the probability to sample an individual from a given genetic cluster. …”
