Our analytical, asymptotic results for the generalized Moran model are summarized, which are derived in the main text. Absorption and fixation times are given in generations. For the generalized Moran model the generation time is the average time to reproduction, Inline graphic, and the carrying capacity is N* = N(1/α − 1). p is the proportion of type one in a population starting from carrying capacity.
