TL;DR
Wright's F‐statistics can be defined as ratios of gene diversities of heterozygosities rather than as the correlations of uniting gametes, irrespective of the number of alleles involved or whether there is selection or not.
Abstract
It is show that Wright's F-statistics can be defined as ratios of gene diversities of heterozygosities rather than as the correlations of uniting gametes. This definition is applicable irrespective of the number of alleles involved or whether there is selection or not. The relationship between F-statistics and Nei's gene diversity analysis is discussed.

A method is presented by which the gene diversity (heterozygosity) of a subdivided population can be analyzed into its components, i.e., the gene diversities within and between subpopulations.
GeneticsISOLATION BY DISTANCE
5,622 Citations1943Sewall Wright
Statistics of statistical differences among local populations provide a possible basis for intergroup selection of genetic systems, a process that provides a more effective mechanism for adaptive advance of the species as a whole than does the mass selection which is all that can occur under panmixia.

It was found that there is no equilibrium in either case short of complete fixation locally, in spite of the linear increase in number of different ancestors with increasing number of ancestral generations, in contrast to systems (half first cousin or second cousin) in which this increase is more than linear and a steady state is rapidly attained with respect to heterozygosis.

Even in the present era of Darwinism there is considerable diversity of opinion about the amount or importance of intragroup variation as opposed to the variation between races and species.

It is shown that reproductive isolation can be maintained in marine fish populations exhibiting substantial mixing during larval and adult life stages, and analyses incorporating genetic, spatial, and environmental parameters indicated that isolating mechanisms are associated with the specific salinity conditions on spawning locations.

Estimable functions are elaborated demonstrating that intraclass correlations can be estimated only relative to that for the least related genes in the informational system, and small sample estimators are formulated for all of the parameters by three different methods.

The expected frequency of heterozygotes in small subpopulations of dioecious organisms will exceed Hardy-Weinberg expectations and this can be measured by F IS and the values of F IS expected in three different types of population structure are discussed.

The infra-structure of three relatively undisturbed tribes of American Indians has been investigated by means of the F-statistics of Wright, using 8, 9 and 6 codominant systems respectively, andpects of population structure which could contribute to negative F(A) values are identified.

Computer simulation has shown that even under pure random genetic drift, Lewontin and Krakauer's test of selective neutrality of polymorphic genes in terms of FST is not always valid, and it is shown that Jacquard's approximate formula for k generally gives an overestimate.

It is shown that the mean and variance of F ST depend on the initial gene frequency and when this is close to 0 or 1, Lewontin and Krakauer's test of the neutrality of polymorphic genes is not valid.

Very little is known about the expected behavior of genetic distances under various genetic and demographic conditions, so researchers would seem to be in the awkward position of trying to investigate the factors which influence distance measures by studying human populations, and also trying to study the relatedness of these populations by computing distance measures.
