Adaptation enables natural populations to survive in a changing environment.
Understanding the mechanics of adaptation is therefore crucial for learning about the …

The reproductive mechanism of a species is a key driver of genome evolution. The standard
Wright-Fisher model for the reproduction of individuals in a population assumes that each …

The speed of population adaptation to changing biotic and abiotic environments is
determined by the interaction between genetic drift, positive selection and linkage effects …

We consider a simple diploid population-genetic model with potentially high variability of
offspring numbers among individuals. Specifically, against a backdrop of Wright–Fisher …

Understanding the processes that drive reproductive success in marine fish stocks is critical
to effective fisheries management. These processes can be difficult to investigate, especially …

Motivated by the question of the impact of selective advantage in populations with skewed
reproduction mechanisms, we study a Moran model with selection. We assume that there …

The vast majority of pathogen phylogenetic studies do not consider the possibility of multiple
merger events being present, where a single node of the tree leads to more than two …

Agricultural diseases are a major threat to sustainable food production. Yet, for many
pathogens we know exceptionally little about their epidemiological and population …

Marine organisms often show deep genetic divergence between lineages that are
characterized by shallow population structure. The distinction of historical and contemporary …

Extra-Poisson variance in annual reproductive success can affect the precision of
abundance estimates made using 'close-kin'mark–recapture procedures. However …
