Surfing in tortoises? Empirical signs of genetic structuring owing to range expansion.

Biology letters - 23 Jun 2013

Abstract excerpt

Much of our current knowledge about the genetic dynamics in range expansions originates from models, simulations and microcosm experiments that need to be corroborated by field data. Here, we report a neutral genetic pattern that matches the predictions of the genetic surfing theory. Genetic surfing occurs when repeated founding events and genetic drift act on the wave of advance of an expanding population,...
