Abstract/Summary:
A systematic study of population processes subsuming the Wright-Fisher model in classical population genetics is undertaken. Discrete and continuum methods are developed for the analysis of these generalised processes, which in many respects can exhibit strikingly different dynamics than the canonical model. Genetic features which are stable across the entire class are also identified, and lead to new understandings of the original model.
