Spatial autocorrelation of genotypes under directional selection.

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 below that predicted for selectively neutral loci. For the latter, homozygotes are spatially clustered into separate...
