Homozygosity of selected alleles in subdivided populations

The mean homozygosity is a useful measure of genetic variation in a natural population and it is of interest to determine the effects of migration and selection on this quantity. It has been shown that some features of the mean homozygosity are independent of migration patterns when alleles are selectively neutral. Here, we examine the mean homozygosity in a structured population to determine if these features are still independent in the …
