Density-regulated population dynamics and conditional dispersal alter the fate of mutations occurring at the front of an expanding population.

Abstract excerpt

There is an increasing recognition that the interplay between ecological and evolutionary processes shapes the genetic footprint of populations during and after range expansions. However, more complex ecological processes regularly considered within spatial ecology remain unexplored in models describing the population genetics of range expansion. In this study we integrate flexible descriptions of population...
