Inbreeding and outbreeding depressions in the Penna model as a result of crossover frequency
The population in the sexual Penna aging model is first separated into several reproductively isolated groups. Then, after equilibration, sexual mixing between the groups is allowed. We study the changes in the population size due to this mixing and interpret them through a counterplay of purifying selection and of haplotype complementarity.
