Abstract excerpt
A method for determining effective population size in organisms with arbitrarily complex life-histories, including clonal reproduction, is developed. A coalescent model that focuses on the time at which two alleles last shared a common ancestor leads to a method for determining an inbreeding effective population size. Comparisons with previously developed approximate methods for haploid age-structured models show...
