Estimating gene flow in island populations.

Genetical research - 1 Apr 1996

Rannala B, Hartigan J A

Abstract excerpt

A new method is presented for estimating the rate of gene flow into island populations using the distribution of alleles in samples from a number of islands. The pseudo maximum likelihood estimator (PMLE) that we derive may be applied to species with either discrete or continuous generation times. For Wright's discrete-generation island model, the method provides an estimate of theta = 2Nm where N is the...
