The parameter θ in the distri- 1 bution is the scaled mutation rate of a population in the context of population genetics. The v limiting procedure of θ approaching infinity is practically motivated and has led to new inter- 9 esting mathematical structures. Results of law of large numbers, fluctuation theorems and large 1 4 deviations have been successfully established. In this paper moderate deviation principles are 3 established for Poisson-Dirichlet distribution, GEM distribution, the homozygosity, and Dirich- . 0 let process when parameter θ approaches infinity. These results, combined with earlier work, 1 not only provide a relatively complete picture of the asymptotic behavior of Poisson-Dirichlet 7 distribution for large θ but also lead to a better understanding of the large deviation problem 0 : associated with the scaled homozygosity. They also reveal some new structures that are not v observed in existing results of large deviations. i X r a
