Abstract

General formulae are derived for the effective sizes (numbers) of random mating populations of constant size and sex ratio with overlapping generations. They are found to equal the effective sizes of populations with discrete generations which have the same number of individuals entering the population each generation and the same variance of lifetime family number.
