Population Growth Combined with Wide Offspring Distributions can Increase Fixation Rate and Reduce Genetic Diversity.

Bulletin of mathematical biology - 1 Jul 2016

Alter Idan, Louzoun Yoram

Abstract excerpt

Genetic diversity grows with the population size in most neutral evolution models. Empirical evidence of large populations with limited diversity has been proposed to be due either to genetic bottlenecks or to selection. An alternative explanation is that the limited diversity is a result of rare reproduction events. Indeed, recent estimates of the offspring number distribution highlight the role of large...
