F‐statistics and analysis of gene diversity in subdivided populations

摘要

SUMMARYIt is shown that Wright'sF‐statistics can be defined as ratios of gene diversities of heterozygosities rather than as the correlations of uniting gametes. This definition is applicable irrespective of the number of alleles involved or whether there is selection or not. The relationship betweenF‐statistics and Nei's gene diversity analysis is discus
