Spatial autocorrelation of genotypes under directional selection.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1990

Abstract excerpt

The spatial distributions of genetic variation under selection-mutation equilibrium within populations that have limited dispersal are investigated. The results show that directional selection with moderate strength rapidly reduces the amount of genetic structure and spatial autocorrelations far...
