VIRUS DYNAMICS IN THE PRESENCE OF CONTACT-MEDIATED HOST DORMANCY
- Biology
- 2021
A stochastic individual-based model for the population dynamics of host–virus systems where the hosts may transition into a dormant state upon contact with virions, thus evading infection shows that the presence of contact-mediated dormancy enables the host population to maintain higher equilibrium sizes than host populations without this trait.
Seed balancing selection: Coexistence in seedbank models
- Mathematics
- 2021
Besides finding yet another way in which genetic reservoirs increase the genetic variability, it is found that if a population that sustains a seedbank competes with one that does not, the seed producers will have a selective advantage if they reproduce faster, but will not have a selection disadvantage if they reproduced slower: their worst case scenario is balancing selection.

Evolution with a seed bank: The population genetic consequences of microbial dormancy
- BiologyEvolutionary applications
- 2018
This work investigates how seed banks affect the processes underpinning evolution by reviewing existing theory, implementing novel simulations, and determining how and when dormancy can influence evolution as a population genetic process and extends the analysis to examine how seed Banks can alter macroevolutionary processes, including rates of speciation and extinction.
Stochastic dynamics for adaptation and evolution of microorganisms
- Mathematics
- 2016
It is proved that the stochastic process at the mutation time scale converges to a jump process which describes the successive invasions of successful mutants, and it is shown that the horizontal transfer can have a major impact on the distribution of the successive mutational fixations, leading to dramatically different behaviors.
Stochastic analysis of emergence of evolutionary cyclic behavior in population dynamics with transfer
- BiologyThe Annals of Applied Probability

The goal is to analyze the trade-off between natural evolution to higher birth rates and transfer, which drives the population towards lower birth rates, and implies that negligible sub-populations may have a strong contribution to evolution.

stochastic population model

The probability and time of invasion of a mutant presenting this characteristic under a large population assumption is interested, and the trajectory of the birth-and-death process during three phases is studied: growth of the mutant, coexistence of the two types, and extinction of the resident.
Bacterial Persistence

It is demonstrated that wild-type persistence is suited for environments in which antibiotic stress is a rare event, and that clonal bacterial populations may use persister cells, whose slow division rate under growth conditions leads to lower population fitness, as an “insurance policy” against antibiotic encounters.
A stochastic model for speciation by mating preferences
- Computer ScienceJournal of mathematical biology

A stochastic model of population where individuals, with type a or A, are equivalent from ecological, demographical and spatial points of view, and differ only by their mating preference, showing that mating preferences by themselves, even if they are very small, are enough to entail reproductive isolation between patches.

An approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework that integrates ecological information on population census sizes in the priors of the parameters, along with a coalescent model accounting simultaneously for seed banks and spatial genetic structuring of populations is developed.
Genetic Variability Under the Seedbank Coalescent

The results indicate that the presence of a large seedbank considerably alters the distribution of some distance statistics, as well as the site-frequency spectrum, and one should be able to detect from genetic data the existence of aLarge seedbank in natural populations.
