--- _id: '3618' abstract: - lang: eng text: There are several analyses in evolutionary ecology which assume that a family of offspring has come from only two parents. Here, we present a simple test for detecting when a batch involves two or more subfamilies. It is based on the fact that the mixing of families generates associations amongst unlinked marker loci. We also present simulations illustrating the power of our method for varying numbers of loci, alleles per locus and genotyped individuals. author: - first_name: Timothy full_name: Vines, Timothy H last_name: Vines - first_name: Nicholas H full_name: Nicholas Barton id: 4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Barton orcid: 0000-0002-8548-5240 citation: ama: Vines T, Barton NH.
