Effects of population growth on the success of invading mutants.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 May 2017

Ashcroft Peter, Smith Cassandra E R, Garrod Matthew, Galla Tobias

Abstract excerpt

Understanding if and how mutants reach fixation in populations is an important question in evolutionary biology. We study the impact of population growth has on the success of mutants. To systematically understand the effects of growth we decouple competition from reproduction; competition follows a birth-death process and is governed by an evolutionary game, while growth is determined by an externally controlled...
