Abstract

... (from the introduction) To address many of these issues, I have developed a new software package entitled Älleles In Space" (AIS). This program, rather than implementing methodology that relies on arbitrary groupings of individuals, instead has the ability to perform joint analyses of interindividual spatial and genetic information that can be applied at virtually any spatial scale. These approaches specifically lend themselves to analyses of genetic data when one or a few individuals are sampled from large numbers of collection sites. Moreover, the program is designed to handle a wide variety of genetic data types, including codominant marker systems, dominant marker systems, and DNA sequences. Thus AIS will likely be useful for elucidation of patterns in diverse study types ranging from local analyses of genetic structure, phylogeographical studies, and studies encompassing aspects of the emerging field of landscape genetics (Manel et al. 2003).
