Abstract
We have no serious disagreement with the mathematical arguments presented by Ohta & Kimura (1975). We do, however, have reservations about their conclusions that ‘the hitch-hiking effect is generally unimportant as a mechanism for reducing heterozygosity’, and still prefer our own approach (Maynard Smith & Haigh, 1974).This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
