Probability of fixation in a heterogeneous environment.

Genetics - 1 Nov 2005

Whitlock Michael C, Gomulkiewicz Richard

Abstract excerpt

We investigate the probability of fixation of a new mutation arising in a metapopulation that ranges over a heterogeneous selective environment. Using simulations, we test the performance of several approximations of this probability, including a new analytical approximation based on separation of the timescales of selection and migration. We extend all approximations to multideme metapopulations with arbitrary...
