Effective Size and F-Statistics of Subdivided Populations. I. Monoecious Species with Partial Selfing

摘要: Assuming discrete generations and autosomal inheritance involving genes that do not affect viability or reproductive ability, we have derived recurrence equations for the inbreeding coefficient coancestry between individuals within among subpopulations a subdivided monoecious population with arbitrary distributions of male female gametes per family, variable pollen seed migration rates, partial selfing. From equations, formulas effective size expressions F-statistics are obtained. For special case single unsubdivided population, our reduce to simple by previous authors. It is shown structure (subdivision migration) important in determining size. Failure recognize internal structures populations may lead considerable bias predicting Inbreeding coefficient, accrue at different rates over initial before they converge same asymptotic rate increase. given smaller more required attain larger The presented herein can be used study evolutionary biology conservation genetics.
