Extending eco‐evolutionary theory with oligomorphic dynamics

S Lion, A Sasaki, M Boots - Ecology Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the interplay between ecological processes and the evolutionary dynamics
of quantitative traits in natural systems remains a major challenge. Two main theoretical …

A theoretical framework for trait-based eco-evolutionary dynamics: population structure, intraspecific variation, and community assembly

J Wickman, T Koffel… - The American …, 2023 - journals.uchicago.edu
How is trait diversity in a community apportioned between and within coevolving species?
Disruptive selection may result in either a few species with large intraspecific trait variation …

Eco-evolutionary model on spatial graphs reveals how habitat structure affects phenotypic differentiation

V Boussange, L Pellissier - Communications Biology, 2022 - nature.com
Differentiation mechanisms are influenced by the properties of the landscape over which
individuals interact, disperse and evolve. Here, we investigate how habitat connectivity and …

A mathematical study of the influence of hypoxia and acidity on the evolutionary dynamics of cancer

G Fiandaca, M Delitala, T Lorenzi - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2021 - Springer
Hypoxia and acidity act as environmental stressors promoting selection for cancer cells with
a more aggressive phenotype. As a result, a deeper theoretical understanding of the spatio …

Multimorph eco-evolutionary dynamics in structured populations

S Lion, M Boots, A Sasaki - The American Naturalist, 2022 - journals.uchicago.edu
Our understanding of the evolution of quantitative traits in nature is still limited by the
challenge of including realistic trait distributions in the context of frequency-dependent …

Asymptotic analysis of a quantitative genetics model with nonlinear integral operator

V Calvez, J Garnier, F Patout - Journal de l'École polytechnique …, 2019 - numdam.org
We study the asymptotic behavior of stationary solutions to a quantitative genetics model
with trait-dependent mortality and a nonlinear integral reproduction operator with a …

The best of both worlds: combining population genetic and quantitative genetic models

L Dekens, SP Otto, V Calvez - Theoretical Population Biology, 2022 - Elsevier
Numerous traits under migration–selection balance are shown to exhibit complex patterns of
genetic architecture with large variance in effect sizes. However, the conditions under which …

Evolutionary dynamics of complex traits in sexual populations in a heterogeneous environment: how normal?

L Dekens - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2022 - Springer
When studying the dynamics of trait distribution of populations in a heterogeneous
environment, classical models from quantitative genetics choose to look at its system of …

Ancestral lineages in mutation selection equilibria with moving optimum

R Forien, J Garnier, F Patout - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2022 - Springer
Many populations can somehow adapt to rapid environmental changes. To understand this
fast evolution, we investigate the genealogy of individuals inside those populations. More …

Adaptation in a heterogeneous environment II: To be three or not to be

M Alfaro, F Hamel, F Patout, L Roques - Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2023 - Springer
We propose a model to describe the adaptation of a phenotypically structured population in
a H-patch environment connected by migration, with each patch associated with a different …
