Gene Genealogies in Haploid Populations Evolving According to Sweepstakes Reproduction.

Abstract excerpt

Recruitment dynamics, or the distribution of the number of offspring among individuals, is fundamental to ecology and evolution. We take sweepstakes reproduction to mean a skewed (heavy right-tailed) offspring number distribution without natural selection being involved. Sweepstakes may be generated by chance matching of reproduction with favorable environmental conditions. Gene genealogies generated by...
