The effective founder effect in a spatially expanding population.
The gradual loss of diversity and the establishment of clines in allele frequencies associated with range expansions are patterns observed in many species, including humans. These patterns can result from a series of founder events occurring as populations colonize previously unoccupied areas. We develop a model of an expanding population and, using a branching process approximation, show that ...
متن کاملIntra-deme molecular diversity in spatially expanding populations.
We report here a simulation study examining the effect of a recent spatial expansion on the pattern of molecular diversity within a deme. We first simulate a range expansion in a virtual world consisting in a two-dimensional array of demes exchanging a given proportion of migrants (m) with their neighbors. The recorded demographic and migration histories are then used under a coalescent approac...
متن کاملEmergent cooperation in microbial metabolism
Mixed microbial communities exhibit emergent biochemical properties not found in clonal monocultures. We report a new type of synthetic genetic interaction, synthetic mutualism in trans (SMIT), in which certain pairs of auxotrophic Escherichia coli mutants complement one another's growth by cross-feeding essential metabolites. We find significant metabolic synergy in 17% of 1035 such pairs test...
متن کاملImproving Cooperation in Spatially Distributed Agents
Agent trust and its effect on cooperation is an important concern in multi-agent systems, both in improving cooperation in application areas such as electronic marketplaces, and understanding its effects on low-level agent interaction. We present a mechanism for facilitating cooperation in multi-agent systems based on that of Dutta and Sen [4], that adds spatial awareness and removes the assump...
متن کاملEvolution of cooperation in spatially structured populations
Using a spatial lattice model of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma we studied the evolution of cooperation within the strategy space of all stochastic strategies with a memory of one round. Comparing the spatial model with a randomly mixed model showed that (1) there is more cooperative behaviour in a spatially structured population, (2) PAVLOV and generous variants of it are very successful stra...
