Abstract excerpt
The usefulness of GST and similar measures of genetic differentiation has been questioned repeatedly because of their dependence on the amount of heterozygosity within populations, creating problems when comparing degrees of divergence at loci with different mutation rates. Although the effect of mutation on GST is expected to be small in the early phases of divergence, it is unclear for how long after separation...
