Evolutionary rescue in randomly mating, selfing, and clonal populations.
Severe environmental change can drive a population extinct unless the population adapts in time to the new conditions ("evolutionary rescue"). How does biparental sexual reproduction influence the chances of population persistence compared to clonal reproduction or selfing? In this article, we set up a one-locus two-allele model for adaptation in diploid species, where rescue is contingent on t...
متن کاملVIRAPOPS: a forward simulator dedicated to rapidly evolved viral populations
SUMMARY Daily, mutability and recombination of RNA viruses result in the production of million variants. All these rapid genomic changes directly influence the functional sites of the protein, its 3D structure or its drug resistances. Therefore, it is important to simulate these drastic switches to determine their effects on virus populations. Many computer programs are able to simulate specifi...
متن کاملHighlight—Tracking Adaptation's Role: Do Larger Populations Evolve Faster?
Imagine you have set a task for yourself: to breed a larger mouse. Taking evolution in hand, you select the biggest mice from your population each generation. After a few years, no surprise, you consistently have significantly larger mice. What allowed this change to happen? The genetic diversity thatmakes evolution possible comes from two dominant sources: new, adaptive mutations and standing ...
متن کاملGene Genealogies within the Organismal Pedigrees of Random-mating Populations.
Using computer simulations, we generated and analyzed genetic distances among selectively neutral haplotypes transmitted through gene genealogies with random-mating organismal pedigrees. Constraints and possible biases on haplotype distances due to correlated ancestry were evaluated by comparing observed distributions of distances to those predicted from an inbreeding theory that assumes indepe...
متن کاملBackground Selection in Partially Selfing Populations.
Self-fertilizing species often present lower levels of neutral polymorphism than their outcrossing relatives. Indeed, selfing automatically increases the rate of coalescence per generation, but also enhances the effects of background selection and genetic hitchhiking by reducing the efficiency of recombination. Approximations for the effect of background selection in partially selfing populatio...
