✦ Synopsis

The genetic differentiation [Formula: see text] within a subdivided population can be partitioned into two proportions, one due to differentiation within sub-populations and the other due to differentiation among subpopulations. A simple mathematical derivation of this procedure, known as Nei's G ST -statistics, is presented. The significance of considering the differing relative sizes of subpopulations is stressed. Possible fields of applications for breeders and conservationists who are concerned with the establishment of genetically diverse populations are mentioned.

Genetic relationships among six populations of Merino sheep were investigated using microsatellites. The history of the six populations is relatively well documented, with all being derived from the Spanish Merino breed within the last 400 years. Genetic variation was highest amongst the Spanish and
