Sentence examples for average effective population from inspiring English sources

To investigate this we used our estimates of the mutation rate per generation to derive rough estimates of the average effective population size of mitochondrial DNA.

Furthermore, cE/UK breeds, but not Iberian ones, would have had to undergo extreme recent contraction, to average effective population sizes (Ne) of between ten and 20 individuals, to generate the observed pattern (equation (3)).

In principle, all the above observations might be explained by global increases in the average effective population sizes of mammals following the extinction of the dinosaur megafauna.

The average number of cells in a colony was used to estimate the average effective population size in a MA line as 10.26 cells.

Shannon's information index of population subdivision, S HUA, was used to obtain an estimate of between-population dispersal based on an average effective population size of 100 individuals (N100m).

All the estimates of the mutation-scaled effective population size Θ were scaled using a microsatellite mutation rate of 5.56 × 10-4 per locus per generation [ 41, 42] to calculate the average effective population sizes (Ne).

The average estimated effective population size was calculated for bins of varying initial allele frequencies and across all bins is ∼60 flies for all six populations.

However, since it is generally believed that on average the effective population size is constant for all the loci in a specific sample, our comparisons of population mutation rate within samples/species should be valid.

This will on average deflate the effective population size (Ne) and strengthen the effects of genetic drift.

The model of fixation of chromosome rearrangements from Lande [ 5] was used to estimate average long-term effective population size (Ne) from chromosomal data for TSA and also Anoura cultrata (ACU) for comparisons.

The calibrated model shows that selection on influenza is strong compared to genetic drift (with products of average selection coefficient and effective population size of order 100) and dynamic (an average epitope codon changes its preferred allele about every 30 years).
