Genetic Signatures of Evolutionary Rescue by a Selective Sweep.
Genetics - 1 Jul 2020

Abstract excerpt
One of the most useful models in population genetics is that of a selective sweep and the consequent hitch-hiking of linked neutral alleles. While variations on this model typically assume constant population size, many instances of strong selection and rapid adaptation in nature may co-occur with complex demography. Here, we extend the hitch-hiking model to evolutionary rescue, where adaptation and demography...
