Evolution of phenotypic clusters through competition and local adaptation along an environmental gradient

O Leimar, M Doebeli, U Dieckmann - Evolution, 2008 - academic.oup.com
We have analyzed the evolution of a quantitative trait in populations that are spatially
extended along an environmental gradient, with gene flow between nearby locations. In the …

Evolution in heterogeneous populations: from migration models to fixation probabilities

S Vuilleumier, J Goudet, N Perrin - Theoretical population biology, 2010 - Elsevier
Although dispersal is recognized as a key issue in several fields of population biology (such
as behavioral ecology, population genetics, metapopulation dynamics or evolutionary …

Sources and sinks: a stochastic model of evolution in heterogeneous environments

R Hermsen, T Hwa - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We study evolution driven by spatial heterogeneity in a stochastic model of source-sink
ecologies. A sink is a habitat where mortality exceeds reproduction so that a local population …

Spatial populations with seed-bank: well-posedness, duality and equilibrium

A Greven, F den Hollander… - Electronic Journal of …, 2022 - projecteuclid.org
We consider a system of interacting Fisher-Wright diffusions with seed-bank. Individuals live
in colonies and are subject to resampling and migration as long as they are active. Each …

Eco-evolutionary dynamics of range shifts: elastic margins and critical thresholds

RC Henry, G Bocedi, JMJ Travis - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013 - Elsevier
It is widely recognised that the response of a population to environmental change will be
determined by the eco-evolutionary dynamics of dispersal. Here, modelling the evolution of …

Clumped distribution by neighbourhood competition

A Sasaki - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1997 - Elsevier
The paper studies the spatial distribution of individuals competing for a continuously
distributed resource in one-dimensional space. An individual diffuses randomly, and is …

A stochastic model of evolutionary dynamics with deterministic large-population asymptotics

B Simon - Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2008 - Elsevier
An evolutionary birth–death process is proposed as a model of evolutionary dynamics.
Agents residing in a continuous spatial environment X, play a game G, with a continuous …

Ecological models, permanence and spatial heterogeneity

RS Cantrell, C Cosner, V Hutson - The Rocky Mountain Journal of …, 1996 - JSTOR
We model the interactions of two theoretical populations which are allowed to move at
random throughout a bounded habitat via systems of two weakly coupled reaction-diffusion …

Partial differential equations in ecology: spatial interactions and population dynamics

EE Holmes, MA Lewis, JE Banks, RR Veit - Ecology, 1994 - Wiley Online Library
Most of the fundamental elements of ecology, ranging from individual behavior to species
abundance, diversity, and population dynamics, exhibit spatial variation. Partial differential …

[HTML][HTML] Spatial memory and taxis-driven pattern formation in model ecosystems

JR Potts, MA Lewis - Bulletin of mathematical biology, 2019 - Springer
Mathematical models of spatial population dynamics typically focus on the interplay between
dispersal events and birth/death processes. However, for many animal communities …
