Genetic distance and species formation in evolving populations.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Nov 1992

Higgs P G, Derrida B

Abstract excerpt

We compare the behavior of the genetic distance between individuals in evolving populations for three stochastic models. In the first model reproduction is asexual and the distribution of genetic distances reflects the genealogical tree of the population. This distribution fluctuates greatly in time, even for very large populations. In the second model reproduction is sexual with random mating allowed between any...
