... mutation.1
Well, that's not quite true. We talked about multiple populations when we talked about the Wahlund effect and Wright's $F_{ST}$, 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 $N_e$ for $N$ 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.

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

You read that right it's $2Nm$ not $4Nm$ 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.
