The effect of population size and recombination on delayed evolution of polymorphism and speciation in sexual populations.

The American naturalist - 1 Jul 2008

Claessen David, Andersson Jens, Persson Lennart, de Roos André M

Abstract excerpt

Recent theory suggests that absolute population size may qualitatively influence the outcome of evolution under disruptive selection in asexual populations. Large populations are predicted to undergo rapid evolutionary branching; however, in small populations, the waiting time to branching increa...
