Drift by drift: effective population size is limited by advection.

BMC evolutionary biology - 18 Aug 2008

Wares John P, Pringle James M

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic estimates of effective population size often generate surprising results, including dramatically low ratios of effective population size to census size. This is particularly true for many marine species, and this effect has been associated with hypotheses of "sweepstakes" reproduction and selective hitchhiking. RESULTS: Here we show that in advective environments such as oceans and rivers, the...
