متن کاملClonal interference, multiple mutations and adaptation in large asexual populations.
Two important problems affect the ability of asexual populations to accumulate beneficial mutations and hence to adapt. First, clonal interference causes some beneficial mutations to be outcompeted by more-fit mutations that occur in the same genetic background. Second, multiple mutations occur in some individuals, so even mutations of large effect can be outcompeted unless they occur in a good...
متن کاملEvolutionary processes in finite populations.
We consider the evolution of large but finite populations on arbitrary fitness landscapes. We describe the evolutionary process by a Markov-Moran process. We show that to O(1/N), the time-averaged fitness is lower for the finite population than it is for the infinite population. We also show that fluctuations in the number of individuals for a given genotype can be proportional to a power of th...
متن کاملEvolutionary rescue in randomly mating, selfing, and clonal populations.
Severe environmental change can drive a population extinct unless the population adapts in time to the new conditions ("evolutionary rescue"). How does biparental sexual reproduction influence the chances of population persistence compared to clonal reproduction or selfing? In this article, we set up a one-locus two-allele model for adaptation in diploid species, where rescue is contingent on t...
متن کاملModelling evolutionary processes in small populations: not as ideal as you think.
Evolutionary processes are routinely modelled using 'ideal' Wright-Fisher populations of constant size N in which each individual has an equal expectation of reproductive success. In a hypothetical ideal population, variance in reproductive success (V(k)) is binomial and effective population size (N(e)) = N. However, in any actual implementation of the Wright-Fisher model (e.g., in a computer),...
