Abstract

Population genetics theory has continually expanded the range of biological phe­ nomena incorporated in its models. First random mating, then natural selection, genetic drift, and more recently linkage have been intensively investigated. Two of the most active areas of current work concern variable selection coefficients and effects of geography. Together with work on linkage, on testing of the neutrality hypothesis, and on the population genetics of ecological phenomena, these areas account for a large fraction of the effort in contemporary theoretical population genetics. The reader will find the reviews by Christiansen & Feldman (13a) and Hedrick (53a) useful sources of further information. The review by Gould & John­ ston (4Ia) surveys empirical studies of geographic variation.
