Open Veterinary Science, 2021 This study aimed to investigate the genotypic distribution and population genetic parameters of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located on exon 3 at the FSHB gene in East Anatolian Red (EAR), East Anatolian Red×Holstein (EAR×H), and Zavot (Z ...

Understanding evolutionary and ecological dynamics using a continuum limit
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Continuum limits in the form of stochastic differential equations are typically used in theoretical population genetics to account for genetic drift or more generally, inherent randomness of the model. In evolutionary game theory and theoretical ecology,

The molecular clock of neutral evolution can be accelerated or slowed by asymmetric spatial structure. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Over time, a population acquires neutral genetic substitutions as a consequence of random drift. A famous result in population genetics asserts that the rate, K, at which these substitutions accumulate in the population coincides with the mutation rate ...

Reduction of a metapopulation genetic model to an effective one island model [PDF]
, 2018 We explore a model of metapopulation genetics which is based on a more ecologically motivated approach than is frequently used in population genetics. The size of the population is regulated by competition between individuals, rather than by artificially

Phenotypic heterogeneity in modeling cancer evolution. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The unwelcome evolution of malignancy during cancer progression emerges through a selection process in a complex heterogeneous population structure. In the present work, we investigate evolutionary dynamics in a phenotypically heterogeneous population of

Mating system and speciation I: Accumulation of genetic incompatibilities in allopatry.
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Self-fertilisation is widespread among hermaphroditic species across the tree of life. Selfing has many consequences on the genetic diversity and the evolutionary dynamics of populations, which may in turn affect macroevolutionary processes such as ...

Wright-fisher-like models with constant population size on average [PDF]
, 2017 We first recall some basic facts from the theory of discrete-time Markov chains arising from two types neutral and non-neutral evolution models of population genetics with constant size.

Linking Diversity and Differentiation
Diversity, 2010 Generally speaking, the term differentiation refers to differences between collections for the distribution of specified traits of their members, while diversity deals with (effective) numbers of trait states (types).

The effect of recurrent mutations on genetic diversity in a large population of varying size [PDF]
, 2016 Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation.
