Demographic noise can reverse the direction of deterministic selection
George W. A. Constable, Tim Rogers, Alan J. McKane +1
Deterministic evolutionary theory robustly predicts that populations displaying altruistic behaviours will be driven to extinction by mutant cheats that absorb common benefits but…
Stationary solutions for metapopulation Moran models with mutation and selection
George W. A. Constable, Alan J. McKane
We construct an individual-based metapopulation model of population genetics featuring migration, mutation, selection and genetic drift. In the case of a single `island', the model…
Models of genetic drift as limiting forms of the Lotka-Volterra competition model
George W. A. Constable, Alan J. McKane
The relationship between the Moran model and stochastic Lotka-Volterra competition (SLVC) model is explored via timescale separation arguments. For neutral systems the two are foun…
Fast-mode elimination in stochastic metapopulation models
George W. A. Constable, Alan J. McKane
We investigate the stochastic dynamics of entities which are confined to a set of islands, between which they migrate. They are assumed to be one of two types, and in addition to m…
