Genetic structure of the European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) in Denmark. by Sophie Lund Rasmussen, Jeppe Lund Nielsen, Owen R Jones, Thomas B Berg, Cino Pertoldi

“…We estimated individual observed (iHO), observed (HO), and unbiased expected (uHE) heterozygosity, inbreeding coefficient (FIS), percentage of polymorphic loci (P%) and tested for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE). We used linear models to test for potential anthropogenic effects on the genetic variability of hedgehogs with iHO, uHE, P% and FIS as response variables, and assessed the demographic history of the population.…”
