Effective population size, genetic diversity, and coalescence time in subdivided populations.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Sept 1993

Nei M, Takahata N

Abstract excerpt

A formula for the effective population size for the finite island model of subdivided populations is derived. The formula indicates that the effective size can be substantially greater than the actual number of individuals in the entire population when the migration rate among subpopulations is s...
