Temporal changes in allele frequency, genetic variation and inbreeding depression in small populations of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata.

Abstract excerpt

We established three closed lines of N = 10 for the guppy Poecilia reticulata, to evaluate the relationships among temporal changes in allele frequency, genetic variation and inbreeding depression for a fitness-related trait in small populations. Genetic variation at the allozyme loci, expressed by the proportion of polymorphic loci, number of alleles per locus and heterozygosity, decreased somewhat in two closed...
