Genetic distance and species formation in evolving populations
Abstract
We compare the behavior of the genetic distance between individuals in evolving populations for three stochastic models.In the first model reproduction is asexual and the distribution of genetic distances reflects the genealogical tree of the population. This distribution fluctuates greatly in time, even for very large populations.In the second model reproduction is sexual with random mating allowed between any pair of individuals. In this …
