Population divergence with or without admixture: selecting models using an ABC approach.

abstract：:Natural populations of Drosophila robusta are polymorphic for chromosomal gene arrangements in most of its range, the deciduous forests of North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Many of the gene arrangements are the result of paracentric inversions on both arms of the metacentric second chromosome. They are freque...

abstract：:Fisher's model for the evolution of dominance indicates that the accumulation of dominance modifiers will be accelerated by (1) an increased frequency of the mutant heterozygote, (2) increased selection for the phenotype of the normal homozygote.
