How Obstacles Perturb Population Fronts and Alter Their Genetic Structure.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Dec 2015

Möbius Wolfram, Murray Andrew W, Nelson David R

Abstract excerpt

As populations spread into new territory, environmental heterogeneities can shape the population front and genetic composition. We focus here on the effects of an important building block of heterogeneous environments, isolated obstacles. With a combination of experiments, theory, and simulation, we show how isolated obstacles both create long-lived distortions of the front shape and amplify the effect of genetic...
