In romunov/zvau: Misc functions used by our ecology lab

Description

M-ratio indicates reduction in population size using data from microsatellite loci.

Usage

Mratio(x)

Arguments

x	A genind object.

Details

Formula for calculating for each locus is M = k/(R+1) where k is the number of alleles on that locus and R is the range of microsatellite repeats. See Garza J.C., Williamson E.G. 2001. Detection of reduction in population size using data from microsatellite loci. Molecular Ecology, 10: 305-318 for more information.

Value

A named vector of loci with M ratio.
