Evolutionary Branching in a Finite Population: Deterministic Branching vs. Stochastic Branching
Adaptive dynamics formalism demonstrates that, in a constant environment, a continuous trait may first converge to a singular point followed by spontaneous transition from a unimodal trait distribution into a bimodal one, which is called "evolutionary branching." Most previous analyses of evolutionary branching have been conducted in an infinitely large population. Here, we study the effect of ...

متن کاملBranching Processes in Stochastic Environments
This paper is concerned with two simple models for branching processes in stochastic environments. The models are identical to the model for the classical Galton-Watson branching process in all respects but one. In the family-tree language commonly used to describe branching processes, that difference is that the probability distribution for the number of offspring of an object changes stochast...
متن کاملEvolutionary branching in complex landscapes.
Divergent adaptation to different environments can promote speciation, and it is thus important to consider spatial structure in models of speciation. Earlier theoretical work, however, has been limited to particularly simple types of spatial structure (linear environmental gradients and spatially discrete metapopulations), leaving unaddressed the effects of more realistic patterns of landscape...
متن کاملEvolutionary Branching under Asymmetric Competition
I investigate the evolution of a continuous trait, such as body size or arms level, which affects the outcome of competitive contests such that the contestant with the larger trait value has a higher probability of winning. I show that a polymorphism of distinctly different strategies can evolve in an initially monomorphic population even if mutations have only small phenotypic effect. In a sim...
