Fixation probability for a beneficial allele and a mutant strategy in a linear game under weak selection in a finite island model.

Abstract excerpt

The effect of population structure on the probability of fixation of a newly introduced mutant under weak selection is studied using a coalescent approach. Wright's island model in a framework of a finite number of demes is assumed and two selection regimes are considered: a beneficial allele model and a linear game among offspring. A first-order approximation of the fixation probability for a single mutant with...
