Population genetics

the size of an idealized population that would show the same amount of genetic drift or inbreeding as the real population under study.

In population genetics, effective population size refers to the size of an idealized population that would show the same amount of genetic drift or inbreeding as the real population under study. This meaning comes from Wright (1931) in Genetics.[1]
