Abstract excerpt
Natural populations of many organisms exhibit excess of rare alleles in comparison with the predictions of the neutral mutation hypothesis. It has been shown before that either a population bottleneck or the presence of slightly deleterious mutations can explain this phenomenon. A third explanation is presented in this work, showing that hidden subdivision within a population can also lead to an excess of rare...
