The assumption that the probabilities of coalescence cw,t and cb,t become proportional to each other in a distant past may be expressed as follows (Rousset, 2001): for t… See more

Here we review two definitions of inbreeding coefficients in terms of two concepts of identity by descent. The first definition is related to ω, and the second is a special c… See more

Given there is some τ such that Στt=1g(t) ≈ ω and that mutation can be neglected in the first τ generations, we may intuitively expect that the inbreeding coefficient F will be weakly dep… See more

When does Ḟ= ω? From equations 2 and 7, it follows that (where we have inserted ω − Σtg(t)which is null by equation (4)) Hence Hence in general Ḟ ≠ ω. The low mutation limit value … See more
