Coevolutionary clines across selection mosaics.
Much of the dynamics of coevolution may be driven by the interplay between geographic variation in reciprocal selection (selection mosaics) and the homogenizing action of gene flow. We develop a genetic model of geographically structured coevolution in which gene flow links coevolving communities that may differ in both the direction and magnitude of reciprocal selection. The results show that ...
متن کاملInference from clines stabilized by frequency-dependent selection.
Frequency-dependent selection against rare forms can maintain clines. For weak selection, s, in simple linear models of frequency-dependence, single locus clines are stabilized with a maximum slope of between square root of s/square root of 8 sigma and square root of s/square root of 12 delta, where sigma is the dispersal distance. These clines are similar to those maintained by heterozygote di...
متن کاملCoevolutionary dynamics and geographic mosaics in the Social Parasite Harpagoxenus sublaevisand its two Host Species
GENERAL INTRODUCTION " Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution, "-Theodosius Dobzhansky, 1973 The natural history of parasitism has been an immensely fascinating topic for evolutionary biologists in the last couple of centuries. Parasitism represents the most common lifestyle on earth (Thompson 1994), and can be found in all modes of life in the animal kingdom, from simp...
متن کاملCoevolutionary signals across protein lineages help capture multiple protein conformations.
A long-standing problem in molecular biology is the determination of a complete functional conformational landscape of proteins. This includes not only proteins' native structures, but also all their respective functional states, including functionally important intermediates. Here, we reveal a signature of functionally important states in several protein families, using direct coupling analysi...
متن کاملGerm cell selection in genetic mosaics in Drosophila melanogaster.
Heritable mutations in the germ line lead to genetically heterogeneous, or mosaic, gonads. Many of the genes used in germ-line development also play roles in somatic development [Saffman, E. E. & Lasko, P. (1999) Cell. Mol. Life Sci. 55, 1141-1163]. Mutations in these genes may have cellular phenotypes throughout germ-line development leading to their differential elimination or survival, as ha...
