This study derives effective population size in models with local extinctions. Metapopulation structure moderately reduces effective size compared to total population size.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Ecology
  • Evolutionary biology

Background:

  • Understanding effective population size is crucial for conservation.
  • Recurrent local extinctions in metapopulations complicate effective size calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive the effective size in simple models with recurrent local extinctions.
  • To compare different derivation methods and reconcile discrepancies with previous analyses.

Main Methods:

  • A coalescent argument was employed to derive effective population size.
  • Multiple alternative derivation methods were presented and compared.

Main Results:

  • All presented methods yielded a consistent result for effective population size.

Related Experiment Videos

  • This derived result differs from those obtained in earlier analyses.
  • Metapopulation structure was found to moderately reduce effective size relative to total adult population size, based on two published demographic parameter estimates.

    • Conclusions:

    • The coalescent approach provides a consistent method for calculating effective population size in metapopulations with local extinctions.
    • Metapopulation dynamics can significantly impact the effective population size, a key parameter in evolutionary and conservation contexts.
