Long distance dispersal and the fate of a gene from the colonization front.

Abstract excerpt

There is an increasing recognition that long distance dispersal (LDD) plays a key role in establishing spatial genetic structure during colonization. Recent works, focused on short distance dispersal, demonstrated that a neutral mutation arising at the colonization front can either 'surf' with the wave front and reach high frequencies or stay near its place of origin at low frequencies. Here, we examine how LDD,...
