Polygenic Adaptation in a Population of Finite Size
Entropy, 2020 Polygenic adaptation in response to selection on quantitative traits has become an important topic in evolutionary biology. Here we review the recent literature on models of polygenic adaptation.

Genetic drift during the spread phase of a biological invasion
Molecular Ecology, 2019 Recent theoretical and experimental models have revealed the role played by evolution during species spread, and in particular have questioned the influence of genetic drift at range edges.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Genetic drift and natural selection are two of the major forces shaping the genetic makeup of a population. Genetic drift reduces genetic variability due to the random loss of alleles during the transition from one generation to the next one. The smaller

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2018 Urbanization is a global phenomenon with profound effects on the ecology and evolution of organisms. We examined the relative roles of natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow in influencing the evolution of white clover (Trifolium repens), which ...

Shell color polymorphism in marine gastropods
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Marine gastropods are characterized by an incredible variation in shell color. In this review, we aim to introduce researchers to previous studies of shell color polymorphism in this group of animals, trying to provide an overview of the topic and ...

Sex chromosome turnovers and genetic drift: a simulation study
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2018 The recent advances of new genomic technologies have enabled the identification and characterization of sex chromosomes in an increasing number of nonmodel species, revealing that many plants and animals undergo frequent sex chromosome turnovers.

Diversity, 2021 Rear-edge populations are of significant scientific interest because they can contain allelic variation not found in core-range populations. However, such populations can differ in their level of genetic diversity and divergence reflecting variation in ...

Genetic drift in genetic algorithm selection schemes [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, 1999 A method for calculating genetic drift in terms of changing population fitness variance is presented. The method allows for an easy comparison of different selection schemes and exact analytical results are derived for traditional generational selection, steady-state selection with varying generation gap, a simple model of Eshelman's CHC algorithm ...
