Abstract

Explores the effects of demographic parameters and different patterns of migration to the maintenance of genetic variability in a single sink or sinkhole population that receives migrants from a source population and whose size changes with time. Demographic equilibrium of sink with constant number of migrants; Bernoulli and Poison migrations; Demographic stochasticity.
