The Review of scientific instruments·2022

This study introduces new analytical solutions for effective population sizes, accounting for breeding structure and population subdivision. These methods provide more accurate assessments for fragmented or socially structured populations.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Evolutionary biology
  • Quantitative genetics

Background:

  • Traditional effective population size models often overlook complex breeding structures and population subdivision.
  • Understanding gene correlations is crucial for accurate population size estimations.
  • Hierarchical population structures, influenced by breeding groups and migration, impact genetic diversity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive analytical solutions for effective population sizes applicable to subdivided populations.
  • To develop methods that account for breeding structure and hierarchical population dynamics.
  • To provide a unified framework for calculating effective sizes at different hierarchical levels.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of analytical solutions for inbreeding and variance effective sizes using parameters of breeding structure and subdivision.

  • Development of coancestral and intergroup effective size measures.
  • Application of F statistics and transition equations for instantaneous effective size calculations.

    • Main Results:

    • New effective population size formulas are presented that incorporate breeding structure and subdivision.
    • Coancestral and intergroup effective sizes are shown to be special cases of a broader framework.
    • Effective sizes converge to a common asymptotic value under constant conditions, with rates dependent on dispersal.

    Conclusions:

    • The derived formulas offer more accurate assessments of effective population sizes in structured populations.
    • Ignoring internal population structures can lead to significant overestimation of inbreeding effective size.
    • The new methods are applicable to socially structured, fragmented, and genetically discontinuous populations.
