Genetic load and extinction in peripheral populations: the roles of migration, drift and demographic stochasticity

We analyse how migration from a large mainland influences genetic load and population numbers on an island, in a scenario where fitness-affecting variants are unconditionally deleterious, and where numbers decline with increasing load. Our analysis shows that migration can have qualitatively differe...
