Correlation (r) between several initial population genetic-diversity variables and the product of population size and mutation rate (Nu) for the single undivided population scenario. H: initial average expected heterozygosity for markers. K: initial average number of segregating alleles per locus for markers. H* and K*: corresponding variables for quantitative trait loci (QTL). V_A: initial additive genetic variance. R₁₀: response to selection until generation 10; R_10–100: response from generations 10 to 100; R_T: total response until generation 100. The graphs are based on 2000 simulation runs and the correlations on 20,000 simulation runs.
