Abstract excerpt
When two mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplotypes of Drosophila subobscura compete in experimental populations with discrete generations, one or the other approaches fixation, depending on the nuclear background with which they are associated. The approach to fixation, however, is strongly dependent on the effective number of females in the population, Nf. Whether or not the ultimate fate of a given mtDNA haplotype...
