Gametic Disequiilibrium in Multigenic Systems under Normalizing Selection1
نویسنده
چکیده
HERE is a considerable literature on the occurrence of gametic disequilibrium T i n two locus system S. (See KIMURA 1956: LEWONTIN and KOJIMA 1960; KOJIMA and KELLEHER 1961; BODMER and PARSONS 1962; LEWONTIN 1964; KOJIMA 1965). A measure of gametic disequilibrium which has been frequently used is D > 0, coupling disequilibrium D = 0, gametic equilibrium D < 0, repulsion disequilibrium DLj = googii g:iogoi

Inbreeding depression in male gametic performance.
One key objective in evolutionary ecology is to understand the magnitude of inbreeding depression expressed across sex-specific components of fitness. One major component of male fitness is fertilization success, which depends on male gametic performance (sperm and pollen performance in animals and plants, respectively). Inbreeding depression in male gametic performance could create sex-specifi...
متن کاملEvolution of Zygotic Linkage Disequilibrium in a Finite Local Population
One crucial feature of zygotic linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis is its direct use of diploid genotyping data, irrespective of the type of mating system. Previous theories from an evolutionary perspective mainly focus on gametic LD, but the equivalent development for zygotic LD is not available. Here I study the evolution of zygotic LD and the covariances between gametic and zygotic LDs or b...
متن کاملWeak Convergence and Uniform Normalization in Infinitary Rewriting
We study infinitary term rewriting systems containing finitely many rules. For these, we show that if a weakly convergent reduction is not strongly convergent, it contains a term that reduces to itself in one step (but the step itself need not be part of the reduction). Using this result, we prove the starkly surprising result that for any orthogonal system with finitely many rules, the system ...
متن کاملMultilocus Structure of Natural Populations of HORDEUM SPONTANEUM.
The association of alleles among different loci was studied in natural populations of Hordeum spontaneum, the evolutionary progenitor of cultivated barley. The variance of the number of heterozygous loci in two randomly chosen gametes affords a useful measure of such association. The behavior of this statistic in several particular models is described. Generally, linkage (gametic phase) disequi...
متن کاملQuantitative characters under assortative mating: gametic model.
The gametic model introduced by Gimelfarb (1982, Theor. Pop. Biol. 22, 324-366) is applied to investigating the dynamics, represented in the model by a second-order recurrence equation, the the variance of sex-independent and sex-controlled characters under assortative mating. It is shown that, for any additive character, there always exists a unique equilibrium for the variance, which is stabl...
