Evolution in a spatially structured population subject to rare epidemics.
We study a model that gives rise to spatially inhomogeneous population densities in a system of host individuals subject to rare, randomly distributed disease events. For stationary hosts that disperse offspring over short distances, evolutionary dynamics can lead to persistent populations with a variety of spatial structures. A mean-field analysis is shown to account for the behavior observed ...
متن کاملThe evolution of programmed death in a spatially structured population.
Recent studies have identified a number of genes that regulate life span. When these genes are inactivated, organisms live longer, but suffer no obvious adverse effects. These results have generated considerable debate, largely because current evolutionary theory is unable to explain them. In this article, I report results from an individual-based spatial model in which a programmed age of deat...
متن کاملInvasion and adaptive evolution for individual-based spatially structured populations.
The interplay between space and evolution is an important issue in population dynamics, that is particularly crucial in the emergence of polymorphism and spatial patterns. Recently, biological studies suggest that invasion and evolution are closely related. Here, we model the interplay between space and evolution starting with an individual-based approach and show the important role of paramete...
متن کاملEmergent Neutrality in Adaptive Asexual Evolution
In nonrecombining genomes, genetic linkage can be an important evolutionary force. Linkage generates interference interactions, by which simultaneously occurring mutations affect each other's chance of fixation. Here, we develop a comprehensive model of adaptive evolution in linked genomes, which integrates interference interactions between multiple beneficial and deleterious mutations into a u...
متن کاملEvolution of cooperation in spatially structured populations
Using a spatial lattice model of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma we studied the evolution of cooperation within the strategy space of all stochastic strategies with a memory of one round. Comparing the spatial model with a randomly mixed model showed that (1) there is more cooperative behaviour in a spatially structured population, (2) PAVLOV and generous variants of it are very successful stra...
