Effects of fine-scale population structure on the distribution of heterozygosity in a long-term study of Antirrhinum majus.

Abstract excerpt

Many studies have quantified the distribution of heterozygosity and relatedness in natural populations, but few have examined the demographic processes driving these patterns. In this study, we take a novel approach by studying how population structure affects both pairwise identity and the distribution of heterozygosity in a natural population of the self-incompatible plant Antirrhinum majus. Excess variance in...
