Some factor determine Ne

1.Sex ratio.

2.Variation between individual in reproduction success.

3.Fluctuation in population size.

4.The age structure of the population.

5.Mating is random.

Ne = Male + Female  (when both are equal)

Ne = 4 × n(male) × n(female)/n(male)+n(female) 

(When both unequal Ne is smaller than then sum of both)
