INBREEDING AND VARIANCE EFFECTIVE POPULATION NUMBERS

摘要: In this paper, a correction and extension of earlier work, we derive expressions for the inbreeding effective number, NeI , variance NeV with various models. Diploidy, random mating, discrete generations are assumed formulas given six situations: isogamous monoecious populations self-fertilization permitted or excluded; populations, male female gametes distinguished, separate sexes without progeny distinguished. is separate-sexed populations. Most higher animals have sexes, Letting subscript t represent generation in which effect manifest, number [Formula: see text] σsm,sf covariance (m) (f) parent sex s (s = m f), μsm μsf mean numbers sons daughters s, Ns,t-2 grandparental generation. For σsm2 σsf2 variances s. Observations made at same age each
