The effective family size of immigrant founders predicts their long-term demographic outcome: from Québec settlers to their 20th-century descendants

2021-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Human evolution involves population splits, size fluctuations, founder effects, and admixture. Population history reconstruction based on genetic diversity data routinely relies on simple demographic models while projecting the past. No specific demographic assumptions are needed to understand the genetic structure of the founder population of Québec. Because genealogy and genetics are intimately related, we used...
