Clines in quantitative traits: the role of migration patterns and selection scenarios.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 2015

Geroldinger Ludwig, Bürger Reinhard

Abstract excerpt

The existence, uniqueness, and shape of clines in a quantitative trait under selection toward a spatially varying optimum is studied. The focus is on deterministic diploid two-locus n-deme models subject to various migration patterns and selection scenarios. Migration patterns may exhibit isolation by distance, as in the stepping-stone model, or random dispersal, as in the island model. The phenotypic optimum may...
