Frequency-Dependent Selection at Rough Expanding Fronts
Microbial colonies are experimental model systems for studying the colonization of new territory by biological species through range expansion. We study a generalization of the two-species Eden model, which incorporates local frequency-dependent selection, in order to analyze how social interactions between two species influence surface roughness of growing microbial colonies. The model include...
متن کاملPattern Formation through Genetic Drift at Expanding Population Fronts
We investigate the nature of genetic drift acting at the leading edge of range expansions, building on recent results in [Hallatschek et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 104(50): 19926 19930 (2007)]. A well mixed population of two fluorescently labeled microbial species is grown in a circular geometry. As the population expands, a coarsening process driven by genetic drift gives rise to sectoring p...
متن کاملFrequency-Dependent Selection at the LAP Locus in DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER.
Results of fitness estimates for the Lap locus in Drosophila melanogaster revealed that under crowded media conditions gene frequency equilibrium was maintained by frequency-dependent selection. Evidence was obtained that indicated that mating and egg-to-adult viability were frequency dependent.
متن کاملOverdominant vs. frequency-dependent selection at MHC loci.
There has been much discussion recently about the relative roles of overdominant and frequency-dependent selection in the maintenance of polymorphism at major histocompatibility complex (MHC) loci. This has arisen since the confirmation, using nucleotide sequence data from the antigen binding sites, that balancing selection is mainly responsible for the observed polymorphism (HUGHES and NEI 198...
متن کاملFrequency-dependent Chemotactic Target Selection
Chemotaxis usually involves cellular motion towards an exogenous, often static, source of chemoattractant. We demonstrate an enhanced mechanism in which a single particle (the cell) releases a chemical that diffuses to fixed particles (targets) and signals the production of another chemical by the targets. This secondary chemical acts as the cell’s chemoattractant. To reach a single target, we ...
