==== Non-Fisherian sex-ratios ==== When the [[sex ratio]] of a population varies from the [[Ronald Fisher|Fisherian]] 1:1 ratio, effective population size is given by: :<math>N_e^{(v)} = N_e^{(F)} = {4 N_m N_f \over N_m + N_f}</math> Where ''N''<sub>''m''</sub> is the number of males and ''N''<sub>''f''</sub> the number of females. For example, with 80 males and 20 females (an absolute population size of 100): :{| |- |<math>N_e</math> |<math>= {4 \times 80 \times 20 \over 80 + 20}</math> |- | |<math>={6400 \over 100}</math> |- | |<math>= 64</math> |} Again, this results in ''N''<sub>''e''</sub> being less than ''N''.
