Shortcut predictions for fitness properties at the mutation-selection-drift balance and for its buildup after size reduction under different management strategies.

Abstract excerpt

For populations at the mutation-selection-drift (MSD) balance, I develop approximate analytical expressions giving expectations for the number of deleterious alleles per gamete, the number of loci at which any individual is homozygous for deleterious alleles, the inbreeding depression rate, and the additive and dominant components of fitness variance. These predictions are compared to diffusion ones, showing good...
