Abstract excerpt
The fixation index F(ST) and the coefficient of gene differentiation G(ST) are analyzed for the finite island model under short time spans, ignoring mutations. Dividing the reproduction cycle into the three steps-gamete formation, fertilization, and migration-we develop a new approach for computing quasi equilibrium formulas for F(ST) (and G(ST)). Our formulas generalize earlier ones and reveal that the...
