Genetic drift widens the expected cline but narrows the expected cline width.
Random genetic drift shifts clines in space, alters their width, and distorts their shape. Such random fluctuations complicate inferences from cline width and position. Notably, the effect of genetic drift on the expected shape of the cline is opposite to the naive (but quite common) misinterpretation of classic results on the expected cline. While random drift on average broadens the overall c...
متن کاملGenetic drift in a cline.
A model is developed of genetic drift in a cline maintained by spatially varying natural selection and local dispersal of individuals. The model is analyzed by an approximation scheme which is valid for weak selection and small migration rates. The results, which are based on numerical iterations of the approximate equations, are that the cline is less steep than predicted on the basis of the d...
متن کاملNumerical analysis of weak random drift in a cline.
The equilibrium state of a diffusion model for weak random genetic drift in a cline is analyzed numerically. The monoecious organism occupies an unbounded linear habitat with constant, uniform population density. Migration is homogeneous, symmetric, and independent of genotype. A single diallelic locus with a step environment is investigated in the absence of dominance and mutation. The ratio o...

متن کاملMusic and the Cline of Malayness
The cline of Malayness as exhibited in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula extends through tribal-Malay, rakyat-Melayu, raja-Melayu and modern urban-Melayu. As a consequence of the manner in which Malay states came into being, this cline exhibits an increasing elaboration of the cultural expression of transition and transitivity. These differences are paralleled closely in such areas of Malay cultu...
