Third release of book.

The third release version of "Population and Quantitative Genetics". Please use the pdf release_popgen_notes.pdf, appended below. A downsampled version is available below as well (minicoop.pdf). The images in this minicoop version are lower quality but it may be useful for quicker browsing and printing.

The zip file below represents the full git repo of this release. It can be compiled using xelatex and BibTeX. All of the latex, figures, etc are released under a CC-BY 3.0 licence. All of the figures have their attribution and code is provided for all of the figures produced for the book.

What's new?
More questions throughout the book. I have an answer key to the previous version of the book please email me if you would like a copy.
There's a summary at the end of each chapter.
An equation sheet at the front of the book, with each equation linked to where the equation appears later in the book.
This release has benefited from numerous people carefully reading over sections. A special thanks to Michael Whitlock who gave me corrections throughout the book.
Additional examples, figures, illustrations. Kind of lost track of the new additions during the %#* show that is 2020, but the largest single addition is a new section on multivariate fitness landscapes.
An expanded introduction with a section on the eugenics and scientific racism.

What's new? Descriptions throughout the book have been expanded, and numerous typos caught (thanks to a number of reading groups and people for feedback). I've also added new figures and illustrations. Entirely new to this release:

1. A math appendix at the end of the book. This briefly reviews many of the math topics needed to follow the explanations in the book. Links to this appendix have been added throughout the book.
2. A new final chapter on the interaction of selection and recombination. This new chapter discusses the advantages and disadvantages of sex and recombination, and the evolution of inversions and super genes.

A number of chapters have been split and/or have had new sections added:

1. A chapter 'Population Structure and Correlations Among Loci' has been broken off the chapter on allele and genotype frequencies.
2. A chapter 'The Population Genetics of Divergence and Molecular Substitution.' has been broken off from the genetic drift chapter and extended. A chapter on 'Neutral Diversity and Population Structure' has also been broken off from this genetic drift chapter.
3. The response to selection chapter has been split into a chapter on single traits ('The Response to Phenotypic Selection') and on multiple traits ('The Response of Multiple Traits to Selection.'). New material on fitness landscapes has been added to the single trait chapter and the multivariate chapter has new material on estimating fitness gradients.
4. A section of sex ratios and selfish elements has been added to the 'One-Locus Models of Selection' chapter.
5. A section on hybrid zones has been added to the 'The Interaction of Selection, Mutation, and Migration.' chapter.

First release of book.

The first release version of "Population and Quantitative Genetics". In this version, all of the figures have their attribution and code is provided for all of the figures produced for the book.

An incomplete chapter on two-locus selection dynamics, recombination, and sex has omitted from "release_popgen_notes.pdf", to ensure that in draft all the sections are of a similar level of completion. There's still plenty more to do, but this release represents the first book-length version of the notes.
