Migration rates, frequency-dependent selection and the self-incompatibility locus in Leavenworthia (brassicaceae).

Abstract excerpt

Loci subject to negative frequency-dependent selection are expected to exhibit higher effective migration rates compared to reference loci. Although the number of gene copies transferred between populations by migration is the same for all genes, those subject to negative frequency-dependent selection are more likely to be retained in the immigrant population because rare alleles are selectively favored. So far,...
