Contrasting patterns of X-linked vs. autosomal diversity may be indicative of the mode of selection operating in natural populations. A number of observations have shown reduced X-linked (or Z-linked) diversity relative to autosomal diversity in various organisms, suggesting a large impact of genetic hitchhiking. However, the relative contribution of other forces such as population bottlenecks, variation in...
