Phenotype changes through Homoploid hybridization




Suppose above (big) square represents a population composed of individuals (small squares) of two species each of which has distinct phenotype, in this case black and white color.
This widget aims to show how phenotype changes over time if hybridization between the two species occurs over multiple generations. Louisiana iris

Set parent population

Below range determines the (approximate) % of each species in a population (50:50 default).
Select % for species 1 and the proportion for species will be determined automatically.
Changing parental frequency will restart generation.
Refreshing parental frequency will make a new population distribution given the frequency.
Reset parental frequency will put % back to default (50:50).
Species 1:
Species 2:

Miscellaneous parameters

Population size:
(Approximate, we may have to round the selected population size to the nearest number that will fill in the canvas)
Briefly, we recommend the following population number to visualize in different scales:
Tiny population: 25
Small population: 100
Medium population: 900 (default)
Large population: 2500
Huge population: 10000
Species 1 R: G: B:
Species 2 R: G: B:
Extraordinary mutation (1/1000) [max=0.1%]:

May be write some explanations from Anderson (1952)'s Introgressive hybridization how the allele frequency changes over generations,
this probably would be helpful interpreting the below plot and link the widget with theoretical foundations.
May be talk about additivity -- Solis and Soltis
May be talk about mutation and genetic diversity
