POLDISP 1.0
programmed by Juan José Robledo-Arnuncio & Frédéric Austerlitz
Latest release: POLDISP 1.0c (June 2009)
What is POLDISP?
POLDISP is a free software package to estimate contemporary POLLEN DISPERSAL from mother-offspring diploid genotypic data. It contains the necessary programs to apply the two available indirect (non-paternity-based) methods of contemporary pollen dispersal estimation: KINDIST and TWOGENER.
POLDISP provides estimates of the following parameters:
The average pollen dispersal distance
The variance of the pollen dispersal distribution
The kurtosis of the pollen dispersal distribution
The correlated paternity rate within and among maternal sibships
The effective male population density
What kind of data requires POLDISP?
POLDISP requires the spatial coordinates and genotypes of a sample of seed-plants and their respective maternal progenies. Genotypic information must be diploid and codominant.
