High germline mutation rates but not extreme population size outbreaks influence genetic diversity in crown-of-thorns sea stars

2023-06-30

Abstract excerpt

Lewontin’s paradox, the observation that levels of genetic diversity (π) among animals do not scale linearly with variation in census population sizes ( N c ), is an evolutionary conundrum, where the most extreme mismatches between π and N c are found for highly abundant marine invertebrates. Yet, whether new mutations influence π relative to extrinsic processes remains unknown for most taxa. Here, we provide...
