Effective population size under random mating with a finite number of matings.
نویسنده
چکیده
Random mating is the null model central to population genetics. One assumption behind random mating is that individuals mate an infinite number of times. This is obviously unrealistic. Here we show that when each female mates a finite number of times, the effective size of the population is substantially decreased.

Poisson distribution of male mating success in laboratory populations of Drosophila melanogaster.
Variation among males and females in reproductive success is a major determinant of effective population size. Most studies of male mating success in Drosophila, however, have been done under conditions very different from those in typical cultures. We determined the distribution of male mating success in five laboratory populations of D. melanogaster maintained on a 14 d, discrete generation c...
متن کاملCoalescent Theory for a Monoecious Random Mating Population with a Varying Size
Consider a monoecious diploid population with nonoverlapping generations, whose size varies with time according to an irreducible, aperiodic Markov chain with states x1N, . . . , xKN , where K N . It is assumed that all matings except for selfing are possible and equally probable. At time 0 a random sample of n N genes is taken. Given two successive population sizes xjN and xiN , the numbers of...
متن کاملGenetic components of variation in Nemophila menziesii undergoing inbreeding: morphology and flowering time.
The standard approaches to estimation of quantitative genetic parameters and prediction of response to selection on quantitative traits are based on theory derived for populations undergoing random mating. Many studies demonstrate, however, that mating systems in natural populations often involve inbreeding in various degrees (i.e. , self matings and matings between relatives). Here we apply th...
متن کاملOn the Theory of Partially Inbreeding Finite Populations . 11 . Partial Sib Mating Edward
It is assumed that a population has M males in every generation, each of which is permanently mated with c 1 females, and that a proportion of matings are between males and their full sisters or half-sisters. Recurrence equations are derived for the inbreeding coefficient of one random individual, coefficients of kinship of random pairs of mates and probabilities of allelic identity when the in...
متن کاملThe effective proportion of self-fertilization with consanguineous matings in inbred populations.
Allelic segregation at a single locus among offspring derived from matings, including those between inbred relatives, is a combination of two patterns, corresponding to self-fertilization and random outcrossing. The proportion of effective self-fertilization is termed the "effective selfing rate," and it is specified with identity coefficients. The description of the offspring genotypic distrib...
