Indirect genetic methods are frequently used to estimate the effective population size (N(e)) or effective number of breeders (N(b)) in natural populations. Although assumptions behind these methods are often violated, there have been few attempts to evaluate how accurate these estimates really are in practice. Here we investigate the influence of natural selection following a population admixture on the temporal...
