Effective population size
What is it? An aid to calculation in population genetics, introduced by Sewall Wright. The rate of change of the genetic make-up of a population by genetic drift — fluctuations in allele frequencies caused by random sampling — is inversely related to the effective population size, Ne. Ne is measured with reference to an ideal ‘Wright–Fisher’ population. This has a fixed number of N diploid bree...
متن کاملThe effective size of a subdivided population.
This paper derives the long-term effective size, Ne, for a general model of population subdivision, allowing for differential deme fitness, variable emigration and immigration rates, extinction, colonization, and correlations across generations in these processes. We show that various long-term measures of Ne are equivalent. The effective size of a metapopulation can be expressed in a variety o...
متن کاملThe Genetic Effective Size of a Population
Throughout the preceding chapter, we assumed a population with an idealized set of Wright-Fisher features, including random mating within a homogeneous group of monoecious, self-compatible individuals with equal expected family sizes, discrete generations, and an absence of density fluctuations. Because almost all populations deviate from this ideal structure in one or more ways, and often subs...
متن کاملLandscape Pattern Determines Neighborhood Size and Structure within a Lizard Population
Although defining population structure according to discrete habitat patches is convenient for metapopulation theories, taking this approach may overlook structure within populations continuously distributed across landscapes. For example, landscape features within habitat patches direct the movement of organisms and define the density distribution of individuals, which can generate spatial str...
متن کاملEffective population size and population subdivision in demographically structured populations.
A fast-timescale approximation is applied to the coalescent process in a single population, which is demographically structured by sex and/or age. This provides a general expression for the probability that a pair of alleles sampled from the population coalesce in the previous time interval. The effective population size is defined as the reciprocal of twice the product of generation time and t...
