Genetics - 1 Mar 1991
Slatkin M, Voelm L
Abstract excerpt
It is shown that in a hierarchical island model, in which demes within a neighborhood exchange migrants at a much higher rate than do demes in different neighborhoods, hierarchical F statistics introduced by S. Wright can indicate the extent of gene flow within and between neighborhoods. At equilibrium, the within-neighborhood inbreeding coefficient, FSN, is approximately 1/(1 + 4Nm1) where N is the deme size and...
