Absorption and fixation times for neutral and quasi-neutral populations with density dependence.

Abstract excerpt

We study a generalisation of Moran's population-genetic model that incorporates density dependence. Rather than assuming fixed population size, we allow the number of individuals to vary stochastically with the same events that change allele number, according to a logistic growth process with density dependent mortality. We analyse the expected time to absorption and fixation in the 'quasi-neutral' case: both...
