Abstract excerpt
Neutral theory predicts that the genetic diversity within a population is proportional to the effective population size. In contrast, the observed genetic diversity for various species vary in a narrow range for several orders of magnitude change in the population sizes (Lewontin's paradox). The selective sweeps and background selection, reduce the genetic variation at the linked neutral sites and have been...
