Abstract excerpt
The prediction theory of effective population size (Ne) is extended to cover selection on a set of linked additive genes and partial inbreeding (partial selfing or partial full-sib mating). Ne under selection is generally expressed as a function of the cumulative change in frequency of a neutral gene due to the random association between the neutral and selected genes generated by finite sampling. In this study,...
