Male Drosophila grimshawi, a Hawaiian fruitfly, have a lekking mating system involving both pheromones and amating dance to attract females to mate with them. Malereproductive success is variable; some males mate with multiplefemales and some are not successful mating. In a population of 40males and 40 females, if only 10 of those males mate, what is theeffective population size vs. the census population size in thatpopulation?
If you could explain what formula you use for this and why, thatwould be greatly appreciated. I missed the class that the professorwent over this.
