[{"publication":"Evolution","abstract":[{"text":"We investigate the probability of fixation of a chromosome rearrangement in a subdivided population, concentrating on the limit where migration is so large relative to selection (m ≫ s) that the population can be thought of as being continuously distributed. We study two demes, and one- and two-dimensional populations. For two demes, the probability of fixation in the limit of high migration approximates that of a population with twice the size of a single deme: migration therefore greatly reduces the fixation probability. However, this behavior does not extend to a large array of demes. Then, the fixation probability depends primarily on neighborhood size (Nb), and may be appreciable even with strong selection and free gene flow (≈exp(-B·Nb) in one dimension, ≈exp(-B\\cdotNb) in two dimensions). Our results are close to those for the more tractable case of a polygenic character under disruptive selection.","lang":"eng"}],"quality_controlled":0,"date_updated":"2019-04-26T07:22:32Z","intvolume":"        45","publication_status":"published","issue":"3","year":"1991","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"0","url":"http://www.jstor.org/stable/2409908"}],"type":"journal_article","publist_id":"2735","citation":{"short":"N.H.
