From: The importance of selection in the evolution of blindness in cavefish
B | An allele that causes sightedness |
b | An allele that causes blindness |
q | Allele frequency of b in the cave population |
Q | Allele frequency of b in the surface population |
q ′ | Frequency of b in the cave population in the next generation |
Δ q | Change in allele frequency in a generation |
s | Fitness advantage of b in the cave population |
h | Dominance level of b in heterozygotes |
m | Rate of immigration from the surface population to the cave population |
u | Mutation rate of B to b |
k | Number of additive diploid loci |
N | The size of the population in the cave |
