The effects of genetic drift in experimental evolution.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Dec 2002

Heffernan Jane M, Wahl Lindi M

Abstract excerpt

Experimental evolution is characterized by exponential or logistic growth and periodic population bottlenecks. The fate of a rare beneficial mutation in these systems is influenced both by the bottleneck effect and by genetic drift. This paper explores the effects of incorporating genetic drift into models of fixation probability in populations with periodic bottlenecks. To model the inherent stochasticity during...
