In order to avoid mistaking the effects of selection for those of drift or migration, we carried out preliminary tests of selective neutrality.

In such small populations, stochastic frequency fluctuations in selected alleles might under some periods temporarily override the effects of selection [ 80].

In most cases, an increase with diversity was observed and interpreted by the effects of selection and complementarity (Loreau and Hector 2001).
