Modelling evolutionary processes in small populations: not as ideal as you think.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2009

Waples Robin S, Faulkner James R

Abstract excerpt

Evolutionary processes are routinely modelled using 'ideal' Wright-Fisher populations of constant size N in which each individual has an equal expectation of reproductive success. In a hypothetical ideal population, variance in reproductive success (V(k)) is binomial and effective population size (N(e)) = N. However, in any actual implementation of the Wright-Fisher model (e.g., in a computer), V(k) is a random...
