Figure 7. The average (orange) +/- 1 SD and maximum (blue) number of generations before a new neutral allele is lost vs a range of population sizes. Each model was run 1,000 times. Figure 6. The percent of all mutations retained at the end of each model run vs. the frequency of neutral mutations for each population size. Populations that went extinct are not shown. Even in the largest population there was only an 8.8% difference in allele retention between the model with no neutral alleles (91.4% retention) and the model with all neutral alleles (100.2% retention, with the extra 0.2% coming from the newest alleles that had not yet drifted out of the population).
