Effects of Dobzhansky-type epistatic selection on the steady-state gametic and zygotic LDs and other high-order covariances*

*Three selection schemes are: wAABB = waabb = 1, wAaBB = waaBb = 0.99, wAABb = wAabb = 0.99, waaBB = 0.98, wAAbb = 0.98, and wAaBb = 0.98 for Case I; wAABB = waabb = 1, wAaBB = waaBb = 0.99, wAABb = wAabb = 0.5, waaBB = 0.98, wAAbb = 0.5, and wAaBb = 0.5 for Case II; wAABB = waabb = 1, wAaBB = waaBb = 0.99, wAABb = wAabb = 0.1, waaBB = 0.98, wAAbb = 0.1, and wAaBb = 0.1for Case III. Other parameter settings are the recombination rate = 5%, the immigration rate of pollen mP = 0.08 and seeds mS = 0.04, and the effective population size = 50. The genotypic frequencies in the continent and initial island populations are 0.1225 for AABB, 0.105 for AABb, 0.0225 for AAbb, 0.105 for AaBB, 0.245 for AB/ab, 0.045 for ab/aB, 0.105 for Aabb, 0.0225 for aaBB, 0.105 for aaBb, and 0.1225 for aabb. The steady-state results (mean ± Sd) are obtained from 10000 independent simulation runs.
