A structured coalescent process for seasonally fluctuating populations.
Many short-lived organisms pass through several generations during favorable growing seasons, separated by inhospitable periods during which only small hibernating or estivating refugia remain. This induces pronounced seasonal fluctuations in population size and metapopulation structure. The first generations in the growing season will be characterized by small, relatively isolated demes wherea...
متن کاملNew Routes to Phylogeography: A Bayesian Structured Coalescent Approximation
Phylogeographic methods aim to infer migration trends and the history of sampled lineages from genetic data. Applications of phylogeography are broad, and in the context of pathogens include the reconstruction of transmission histories and the origin and emergence of outbreaks. Phylogeographic inference based on bottom-up population genetics models is computationally expensive, and as a result ...
متن کاملDiffusion in a Locally Stationary Random Environment
This paper deals with homogenization of diffusion processes in a locally stationary random environment. Roughly speaking, such an environment possesses two evolution scales: both a fast microscopic one and a smoothly varying macroscopic one. The homogenization procedure aims at giving a macroscopic approximation that takes into account the microscopic heterogeneities.
متن کاملStationary Measures for Random Walks in aRandom Environment with Random
Let ? act on a countable set V with only nitely many orbits. Given a ?-invariant random environment for a Markov chain on V and a random scenery, we exhibit, under certain conditions, an equivalent stationary measure for the environment and scenery from the viewpoint of the random walker. Such theorems have been very useful in investigations of percolation on quasi-transitive graphs.
متن کاملThe Coalescent Effective Size of Age - Structured Populations
We establish convergence to the Kingman coalescent for a class of age-structured population models with time-constant population size. Time is discrete with unit called a year. Offspring numbers in a year may depend on mother's age. 1. Introduction. The well-known coalescent process describes how family lines merge in a sample from a large population, when time is traced backward. It is a conti...
