The effect of mating structure and progeny distribution on heterozygosity versus the number of alleles as measures of variation.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Aug 1995

Campbell R B

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygosity and the number of alleles are both measures of the genetic variation of a population. They are qualitatively similar if the distribution of the number of progeny is Poisson, but not necessarily for other distributions. In particular, selfing decreases heterozygosity and also decreases the number of alleles when the progeny distribution is Poisson, but decreases heterozygosity and increases the...
