Refining analyses of existing data sets is valuable for macrogenetics: a response to Paz-Vinas, Jensen et al., (2021)

Katie L Millette et al. Ecol Lett. 2021 Jun.

Abstract

Paz-Vinas, Jensen et al. (2021) comment on data and methodological limits of Millette, Fugère, Debyser et al. (2020)-some affect a small proportion of our data sets and analyses and others need to be tackled more generally. These points do not refute our main conclusion of no strong signal of human impacts on COI variation globally.

Keywords: COI; intraspecific genetic diversity; intraspecific genetic variation; macrogenetics; population genetics.
