Abstract excerpt
Outbreeding species with large, stable population sizes, such as widely distributed conifers, are expected to harbor relatively more DNA sequence polymorphism. Under the neutral theory of molecular evolution, the expected heterozygosity is a function of the product 4N(e)mu, where N(e) is the effective population size and mu is the per-generation mutation rate, and the genomic scale of linkage disequilibrium is...
