We consider a system of interacting Fisher-Wright diffusions with seed-bank. Individuals live in colonies and are subject to resampling and migration as long as they are active. Each colony has a structured seed-bank into which individuals can retreat to become dormant, suspending their resampling and migration until they become active again. As geographic space labelling the colonies we consider a countable Abelian group $\mathbb{G}$ endowed with the discrete topology. The key example of…

It is shown that moment duality is in a suitable sense stable under passage to the limit and allows a direct and intuitive identification of the limiting semi-group while at the same time providing a probabilistic interpretation of the model.
Stochastic Evolution of spatial populations: From configurations to genealogies and back
The paper reviews the results obtained for spatial population models and the evolution of the genealogies of these populations during the last decade by the author and his coworkers and extends the classical model classes in new directions.

A new coalescent for seed-bank models
• Biology
• 2014
The seed-bank coalescent "does not come down from infinity," and the time to the most recent common ancestor of a sample of size $n$ grows like $\log\log n$, in line with the empirical observation that seed-banks drastically increase genetic variability in a population and indicates how they may serve as a buffer against other evolutionary forces such as genetic drift and selection.

It is shown that the Wright–Fisher diffusion with seed bank can be reformulated as a one-dimensional stochastic delay differential equation, providing an elegant interpretation of the age structure in the seed bank also forward in time in the spirit of Kaj et al. (J Appl Probab 38(2):285–300, 2001).
