Abstract

Genetic differences among populations exposed to selection form barriers against genetic exchange by mortality among hybrids. The strength of such a selection barrier, with which one (recipient) population reacts against immigration from another (donor) population, may be measured as the cumulative mean fitness of hybrids and their descendants relative to the fitness of the recipient population. Previous work analysed a case of weak selection with pairwise epistatic interactions by assuming small genetic distance between two populations in contact. The present study allows large genetic difference between the donor and recipient populations and considers weak multilocus selection with arbitrary epistatic interactions between two or more linked loci. An approximate analytical expression for the barrier strength is obtained as an expansion in which the strength of selection plays the role of a small parameter. It is shown that allele frequencies and gametic linkage disequilibria contribute in different ways to the strength of the selection barrier.
