The Moran coalescent in a discrete one-dimensional spatial model
Among many organisms, offspring are constrained to occur at sites adjacent to their parents. This applies to plants and animals with limited dispersal ability, to colonies of microbes in biofilms, and to other genetically heterogeneous aggregates of cells, such as cancerous tumors. The spatial structure of such populations leads to greater relatedness among proximate individuals while increasin...
متن کاملSpatial distribution of bacterial colonies in a model cheese.
In most ripened cheeses, bacteria are responsible for the ripening process. Immobilized in the cheese matrix, they grow as colonies. Therefore, their distribution as well as the distance between them are of major importance for ripening steps since metabolites diffuse within the cheese matrix. No data are available to date about the spatial distribution of bacterial colonies in cheese. This is ...
متن کاملThe historical Moran model
We consider a multi-type Moran model (in continuous time) with selection and typedependent mutation. This paper is concerned with the evolution of genealogical information forward in time. For this purpose we define and analytically characterize a pathvalued Markov process that contains in its state at time t the extended ancestral lines (adding genealogical distances) of the population alive a...
متن کاملSpatial patterns in ant colonies.
The origins of large-scale spatial patterns in biology have been an important source of theoretical speculation since the pioneering work by Turing (1952) on the chemical basis of morphogenesis. Knowing how these patterns emerge and their functional role is important to our understanding of the evolution of biocomplexity and the role played by self organization. However, so far, conclusive evid...
متن کاملSelective sweeps in growing microbial colonies.
Evolutionary experiments with microbes are a powerful tool to study mutations and natural selection. These experiments, however, are often limited to the well-mixed environments of a test tube or a chemostat. Since spatial organization can significantly affect evolutionary dynamics, the need is growing for evolutionary experiments in spatially structured environments. The surface of a Petri dis...
