Evolving genealogies in cultural evolution, the descendant process, and the number of cultural traits
Joe Yuichiro Wakano, Hisashi Ohtsuki, Yutaka Kobayashi +1
We consider a Moran-type model of cultural evolution, which describes how traits emerge, are transmitted, and get lost in populations. Our analysis focuses on the underlying cultur…

Critical multitype branching: a functional limit theorem and ancestral processes
Ellen Baake, Fernando Cordero, Sophia-Marie Mellis +1
We consider the long-term behaviour of critical multitype branching processes conditioned on non-extinction, both with respect to the forward and the ancestral processes. Forward i…

Solving the migration-recombination equation from a genealogical point of view
Frederic Alberti, Ellen Baake, Ian Letter +1
We consider the discrete-time migration-recombination equation, a deterministic, nonlinear dynamical system that describes the evolution of the genetic type distribution of a popul…
