Stochastic processes and host-parasite coevolution: linking coevolutionary dynamics and DNA polymorphism data
Wolfgang Stephan, Aurélien Tellier
Between-species coevolution, and in particular antagonistic host-parasite coevolution, is a major process shaping within-species diversity. In this paper we investigate the role of…
Modes of rapid polygenic adaptation
Kavita Jain, Wolfgang Stephan
Many experimental and field studies have shown that adaptation can occur very rapidly. Two qualitatively different modes of fast adaptation have been proposed: selective sweeps whe…
Rapid adaptation of a polygenic trait after a sudden environmental shift
Kavita Jain, Wolfgang Stephan
Although a number of studies have shown that natural and laboratory populations initially well-adapted to their environment can evolve rapidly when conditions suddenly change, the…
Response of polygenic traits under stabilising selection and mutation when loci have unequal effects
Kavita Jain, Wolfgang Stephan
We consider an infinitely large population under stabilising selection and mutation in which the allelic effects determining a polygenic trait vary between loci. We obtain analytic…
Speed of adaptation and genomic footprints of host-parasite coevolution under arms race and trench warfare dynamics
Aurelien Tellier, Stefany Moreno-Gamez, Wolfgang Stephan
Coevolution is expected to follow two alternative dynamics, often called trench warfare and arms races in plant-pathogen systems. Trench warfare situations are stable cycles of all…
