Effective size of nonrandom mating populations.
Genetics - 1 Apr 1992
Caballero A, Hill W G
Abstract excerpt
Nonrandom mating whereby parents are related is expected to cause a reduction in effective population size because their gene frequencies are correlated and this will increase the genetic drift. The published equation for the variance effective size, Ne, which includes the possibility of nonrandom mating, does not take into account such a correlation, however. Further, previous equations to predict effective...
