Populations were defined as minor populations when frequency in a population was less than 10%. Population frequency positively correlated with specific growth rate for minor subpopulations.
A major population was found at 80% frequency. Positive correlation between frequency and specific growth rate was assumed, similar to simulation 1.
Populations of less than 5% decreased the specific growth rate of a minor population due to competition for survival, while populations of more than 5% increased the rate because of relatively higher frequency.
The ratio of specific growth rate for populations passed five times under a stronger bottleneck than that of the initial population.
