Dynamics of escape mutants.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 2007

Serra Maria Conceição, Haccou Patsy

Abstract excerpt

We use multi-type Galton-Watson branching processes to model the evolution of populations that, due to a small reproductive ratio of the individuals, are doomed to extinction. Yet, mutations occurring during the reproduction process, may lead to the appearance of new types of individuals that are able to escape extinction. We provide examples of such populations in medical, biological and environmental contexts...
