Gene genealogy in a population of variable size.

Heredity - 1 Apr 1997

Rannala B

Abstract excerpt

The genealogical properties of a small population with continuous overlapping generations that fluctuates randomly in size are studied using a model based on a stochastic birth-death process. The distribution of the coalescence times is presented, as well as a method for computing the expected overall length of the genealogy as a function of the individual birth rate gamma, the individual death rate mu, and the...
