Mary V. Ashley, Isabel C. Caballero, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Bhaskar Dasgupta, Saad I. Sheikh

I do not believe that the accident of birth makes people sisters and brothers. It makes them siblings. Gives them mutuality of parentage.. – Maya Angelou New technologies for collecting genotypic...

Reconstructing sibling relationships from microsatellite data (2008)

Saad Sheikh, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Bhaskar Dasgupta, Mary V. Ashley

New technologies for collecting genotypic data from natural populations open the possibilities of investigating many fundamental biological phenomena, including behavior, mating systems,...

Vol. 23 ISMB/ECCB 2007, pages i49–i56 BIOINFORMATICS doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btm219 Reconstructing sibling relationships in wild populations (2008)

Saad I. Sheikh, Bhaskar Dasgupta, Mary V. Ashley, Isabel C. Caballero, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, ...

Combinatorial Reconstruction of Sibling Groups (2008)

Tanya Berger-wolf, Bhaskar Dasgupta, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Mary V. Ashley

Knowledge about sibling relationships is used in genetic epidemiology, conservation biology, and animal management. For example, knowledge of the genetic relationships among individuals is critical...

Error-tolerant sibship reconstruction in wild populations (2008)

Saad I. Sheikh, Mary V. Ashley, Isabel C. Caballero, Wanpracha Chaovalitwongse, Bhaskar Dasgupta

Abstract. Kinship analysis using genetic data is important for many biological applications, including many in conservation biology. Wide availability of microsatellites has boosted studies in wild...

Multiple Paternity of a Lemon Shark Litter (Chondrichthyes: Carcharhinidae) (2001)

Kevin A. Feldheim, Samuel H. Gruber, Mary V. Ashley

Despite the importance of sharks to marine ecosystems as top predators and growing concern over the conservation status of many shark species, surprisingly little is known about many aspects of their...

The breeding biology of lemon sharks at a tropical nursery lagoon.

Feldheim, Kevin A, Gruber, Samuel H, Ashley, Mary V

Surprisingly little is known about the reproductive behaviour and breeding biology of most shark species, especially in natural populations. Here, we characterize reproductive patterns and use of a...
