Method synopsis
Monte Carlo simulation comparing observed reproductive pair relatedness to expected relatedness under random mating to test for inbreeding avoidance.
Synthesized from method descriptions across 2 papers using this protocol.
Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation
Performed randomizations in MATLAB v.7.12 using the built-in 'randsample' function. Performed 10,000 iterations for each year, with the number of pairs selected at each iteration determined by the number of offspring produced in each area. Randomly drew pairs from among all possible combinations of females and males in each geographic group and calculated the mean relatedness of all chosen reproductive pairs
Quantities: 10,000 iterations per year, separate analyses for 'up valley' and 'down valley' groupsDuration: Computational analysis for years 2003-2008Conditions: Computational analysis conditions
