Determinants of Effective Population Size for Loci With Different Modes of Inheritance

摘要: Here we report an assessment of the determinants effective population size (N(e)) in species with overlapping generations. Specifically, used a stochastic demographic model to investigate influence different life-history variables on N(e)/N (where N = census number) and sex differences N(e) for loci modes inheritance. We applied individual-based modeling approach two datasets: one from natural savannah baboons (Papio cynocephalus) Amboseli basin southern Kenya human tribal (the Gainj Papua New Guinea). Simulation-based estimates averaged 0.329 baboon (SD 0.116, 95% CI 0.172 - 0.537) 0.786 0.184, 0.498 1.115). Although variance male fitness had substantial impact each primate populations, ratios values autosomal sex-linked exhibited no significant departures Poisson-expected values. In case, similarities sex-specific were attributable unexpectedly high female fitness. Variance resulted primarily age-dependent reproductive success, whereas survival during phase.
