Bayesian sperm competition estimates.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2003

Jones Beatrix, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

We introduce a Bayesian method for estimating parameters for a model of multiple mating and sperm displacement from genotype counts of brood-structured data. The model is initially targeted for Drosophila melanogaster, but is easily adapted to other organisms. The method is appropriate for use with field studies where the number of mates and the genotypes of the mates cannot be controlled, but where unlinked...
