homogenises populations
original population

pI = (1 - m) pI + m pC
pI = pI - pI = m (pC - pI)
pI = 0,

migration allele frequencies

QUICKTHINK
Imagine that 10 A1A1 individuals migrate from
a continental into an island population
comprising 990 A2A2 individuals; please relate
the allele frequency q', for A2 on the island
after migration, to q, before.
qI' = (1 - m) qI + m qC
qI' = (1 - m) qI
qI' = 0.99 qI

migration homogenisation

1 high variation
0 no variation
as gene flow increases, populations will become more homogen
