The Rate of Beneficial Mutations Surfing on the Wave of a Range Expansion
Many theoretical and experimental studies suggest that range expansions can have severe consequences for the gene pool of the expanding population. Due to strongly enhanced genetic drift at the advancing frontier, neutral and weakly deleterious mutations can reach large frequencies in the newly colonized regions, as if they were surfing the front of the range expansion. These findings raise the...
متن کاملEvaluating range-expansion models for calculating nonnative species' expansion rate
Species range shifts associated with environmental change or biological invasions are increasingly important study areas. However, quantifying range expansion rates may be heavily influenced by methodology and/or sampling bias. We compared expansion rate estimates of Roesel's bush-cricket (Metrioptera roeselii, Hagenbach 1822), a nonnative species currently expanding its range in south-central ...
متن کاملReduced inbreeding depression after species range expansion.
Many species expanded their geographic ranges from core "refugium" populations when the global climate warmed after the Pleistocene. The bottlenecks that occur during such range expansions diminish genetic variation in marginal populations, rendering them less responsive to selection. Here, we show that range expansion also strongly depletes inbreeding depression. We compared inbreeding depress...
متن کاملTitle: Species Range Expansion Constrains the Ecological Niches of Running Header: Range Expansion and Changes in Species Interactions
21 Aim Changes in community composition resulting from environmental changes modify biotic 22 interactions and affect the distribution and density of local populations. Such changes are currently 23 occurring in nettle-feeding butterflies in Sweden where Araschnia levana has recently expanded 24 its range northward and is now likely to interact with the resident species (Aglais urticae and Agla...
متن کاملSpatial analysis improves species distribution modelling during range expansion.
Species distribution models (SDMs) assume equilibrium between species' distribution and the environment. However, this assumption can be violated under restricted dispersal and spatially autocorrelated environmental conditions. Here we used a model to simulate species' ranges expansion under two non-equilibrium scenarios, evaluating the performance of SDM coupled with spatial eigenvector mappin...
