Effective size of a fluctuating age-structured population.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2005

Engen Steinar, Lande Russell, Saether Bernt-Erik

Abstract excerpt

Previous theories on the effective size of age-structured populations assumed a constant environment and, usually, a constant population size and age structure. We derive formulas for the variance effective size of populations subject to fluctuations in age structure and total population size produced by a combination of demographic and environmental stochasticity. Haploid and monoecious or dioecious diploid...
