Figure 1. A subset of the lineage descending from an immigrant haplotype.

Figure 1

Inline graphic carrying 10 genes. After selection, the genotypes carrying foreign genes (solid black dots) recombine with the resident genotypes (shown as the rows of open dots), so that the average number of foreign alleles per genotype is reduced every generation Inline graphic. Once recombination has broken the foreign genotype down to one gene, it is certain to eventually be eliminated by selection in the single foreign allele state.
