Allelic richness following population founding events--a stochastic modeling framework incorporating gene flow and genetic drift.

Allelic richness (number of alleles) is a measure of genetic diversity indicative of a population's long-term potential for adaptability and persistence. It is used less commonly than heterozygosity as a genetic diversity measure, partially because it is more mathematically difficult to take in...
