  • (18) The data from comparison studies performed on five methods were analysed both by Deming's regression analysis, with calculation of the correlation coefficient, and by the difference plot.
  • (19) The present models show that interdeme selection during the spread of a mutation depends more on the capacity of the mutant to invade and become established in other demes than on selective diffusion, unless there is rapid local extinction and colonization.
  • (20) The average number of sites that differ in alleles drawn from the same and from different demes can provide some information about the degree of population subdivision, as is illustrated by using the data of Kreitman and Aquadé (1986, Proc.
