- ... mutation.1
- Well, that's not quite true. We
talked about multiple populations when we talked about the Wahlund
effect and Wright's
, but we didn't talk explicitly about
any of the evolutionary processes associated with multiple
populations.

- ... mutation.2
- Technically what
the population reaches is not an equilibrium. It reaches a
stationary distribution. At any point in time there is some
probability that the population has a particular distribution. After
long enough the probability distribution stops changing. That's when
the population is at its stationary distribution. We often say that
it's ``reached stationarity.'' This is an example of a place where
the inbreeding analogy breaks down a little.

- Remember that if we're dealing with a non-ideal
population, as we always are, you'll need to substitute
for
in this equation and others like it.

- We don't have to make this assumption, but relaxing it
makes an already fairly complicated scenario even more complicated. If
you're really interested, ask me about it.

the infinite alleles model of mutation, doesn't it? Just you
wait. The parallel gets even more striking.

not
as you
might have expected from the mutation model. If you're really
interested why there's a difference, I can show you. But the
explanation isn't simple.
