Diversity reduction. The diversity reduction ratio D P /D T crucially depends on the relationship between the respective intra to inter-genic diversity ratios n i /N i , and is minimised exactly when n1/N1 = n2/N2. A small D P /D T ratio indicates a greater reduction in diversity. n = const = 60 and N = const = 800 (n1 + n2 = n and N1 + N2 = N).
