Population Structure and Artificial Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the effect that population structure has upon the course of artificial evolution. We represent an arbitrary population structure by embedding a population of individuals in a graph. Each individual resides at a vertex of the graph and can only choose a mating partner from among its neighbors in the graph. Each individual mates with the selected partner and is replaced by the resultant offspring in the next generation. We embed populations in a variety of trees and mesh-structured graphs and observe differences in rates of change of average fitness and percent polymorphism over successive generations. Results indicate that populations embedded in sparse random graphs having relatively low diameter yield results similar to those embedded in complete graphs.

On subalgebras of an evolution algebra of a "chicken" population
We consider an evolution algebra which corresponds to a bisexual population with a set of females partitioned into finitely many different types and the males having only one type. For such algebras in terms of its structure constants we calculate right and plenary periods of generator elements. Some results on subalgebras of EACP and ideals on low-dimensional EACP are obtained.

متن کاملGene Family: Structure, Organization and Evolution
Gene families are considered as groups of homologous genes which they share very similar sequences and they may have identical functions. Members of gene families may be found in tandem repeats or interspersed through the genome. These sequences are copies of the ancestral genes which have underwent changes. The multiple copies of each gene in a family were constructed based on gene duplicati...
