A theory of evolutionary dynamics on any complex population structure reveals stem cell niche architecture as a spatial suppressor of selection.

Abstract excerpt

How the spatial arrangement of a population shapes its evolutionary dynamics has been of long-standing interest in population genetics. Most previous studies assume a small number of demes or symmetrical structures that, most often, act as well-mixed populations. Other studies use network theory to study more heterogeneous spatial structures, however they usually assume small, regular networks, or strong...
