Allee effect promotes diversity in traveling waves of colonization.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 5 Jun 2012

Roques Lionel, Garnier Jimmy, Hamel François, Klein Etienne K

Abstract excerpt

Most mathematical studies on expanding populations have focused on the rate of range expansion of a population. However, the genetic consequences of population expansion remain an understudied body of theory. Describing an expanding population as a traveling wave solution derived from a classical reaction-diffusion model, we analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of its genetic structure. We show that the presence...
