The impact of founder events on chromosomal variability in multiply mating species.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Aug 2008

Pool John E, Nielsen Rasmus

Abstract excerpt

In species with heterogametic males, the relative levels of X chromosome versus autosome diversity hold key information about the evolutionary forces at work in a population. It has been shown that population size changes alter the ratio of X linked to autosomal (X/A) variation, with population size reductions and recent bottlenecks leading to decreased X/A diversity ratios. Here we use theory and simulation to...
