Redistribution of gene frequency and changes of genetic variation following a bottleneck in population size.

Abstract excerpt

Although the distribution of frequencies of genes influencing quantitative traits is important to our understanding of their genetic basis and their evolution, direct information from laboratory experiments is very limited. In theory, different models of selection and mutation generate different predictions of frequency distributions. When a large population at mutation-selection balance passes through a rapid...
