[Population genetics of the population in the European north of the RSFSR. V. An evaluation of the virtual size of the population by computer simulation of marriage and migration processes].
The paper deals with the effect of assortative matings on some parameters of population structure. To solve this problem, two rural populations near Archangelsk (river Peosa region) were used. Some genetic and demographic characteristics of these populations were described in previous publications. A comparison between random matches through a random number generator and true marriages was made by computer estimation of the spouses kinship coefficients. Significant avoidance of first and second cousins marriages in real populations was discovered. As a consequence of this avoidance of consanguinity, the effective breeding size of villages is increased twofold. Similar results were obtained by estimation os isonymy.
