We study the large population limit of a stochastic individual-based model which describes the time evolution of a diploid hermaphroditic population reproducing according to Mendelian rules. Neukirch and Bovier (J Math Biol 75:145–198, 2017) proved that sexual reproduction allows unfit alleles to survive in individuals with mixed genotype much longer than they would in populations reproducing asexually. In the present paper we prove that this indeed opens the possibility that individuals with a…

Drop of Prevalence after Population Expansion: A lower prevalence for recessive disorders in a random mating population is a transient phenomenon during and after a growth phase
TLDR
In the phase of population expansion and shortly afterwards, the simulations show that there is a drop of diseased individuals at the expense of an increasing mutation load for random mating, while both parameters remain almost constant in highly consanguineous partnerships.
Crossing a fitness valley as a metastable transition in a stochastic population model
TLDR
This work focuses on the limit of large population and rare mutations at several speeds, and chooses parameters such that the induced fitness landscape exhibits a valley: mutant individuals with negative fitness have to be created in order for the population to reach a trait with positive fitness.
From adaptive dynamics to adaptive walks.
TLDR
This work considers an asexually reproducing population on a finite type space whose evolution is driven by exponential birth, death and competition rates, as well as the possibility of mutation at a birth event, and modelled as a measure-valued Markov process.
On Λ-Fleming–Viot processes with general frequency-dependent selection
TLDR
This multidimensional model aims for the generality of adaptive dynamics and the tractability of population genetics, and provides a natural bridge between two of the most prominent modelling frameworks of biological evolution: population genetics and eco-evolutionary models.
A general multi-scale description of metastable adaptive motion across fitness valleys
TLDR
This work develops the framework of a meta graph that is constituted of ESCs and possible metastable transitions between those, and proves the convergence of the population process to a Markov jump process visiting only ESCs of sufficiently high stability.
Multidimensional $\Lambda$-Wright-Fisher processes with general frequency-dependent selection.
We construct a constant size population model allowing for general selective interactions and extreme reproductive events. It generalizes the idea of (Krone and Neuhauser 1997) who represented the…

Survival of a recessive allele in a Mendelian diploid model
TLDR
It is proved that, under the assumption that a dominant allele is also the fittest one, the recessive allele survives for a time of order at least K1/4-α, where K is the size of the population and α >0$$α>0.
A rigorous model study of the adaptive dynamics of Mendelian diploids
TLDR
It is proved under the usual smoothness assumptions, starting from a stochastic birth and death process model, that, when advantageous mutations are rare and mutational steps are not too large, the population behaves on the mutational time scale as a jump process moving between homozygous states (the trait substitution sequence of the adaptive dynamics literature).
Stochastic Modeling of Density-Dependent Diploid Populations and the Extinction Vortex
We model and study the genetic evolution and conservation of a population of diploid hermaphroditic organisms, evolving continuously in time and subject to resource competition. In the absence of…

Quantifying the Mutational Meltdown in Diploid Populations
TLDR
This work presents a model-based framework to study and quantify the mutational meltdown in a finite diploid population that is evolving continuously in time and subject to resource competition, and shows that the meltdown appears less severe than predicted by earlier theoretical work.
From Individual Stochastic Processes to Macroscopic Models in Adaptive Evolution
TLDR
In the limit of rare mutations, it is shown that a possible approximation is a jump process, justifying rigorously the so-called trait substitution sequence, and unify different points of view concerning mutation-selection evolutionary models.
Polymorphic evolution sequence and evolutionary branching
TLDR
It is proved that under a good combination of these two scales, the population process is approximated in the long time scale of mutations by a Markov pure jump process describing the successive trait equilibria of the population.
Slow-fast stochastic diffusion dynamics and quasi-stationarity for diploid populations with varying size
TLDR
It is proved the convergence toward 0 of a fast variable giving the deviation of the population from quasi Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, while the sequence of slow variables giving the respective numbers of occurrences of each allele converges toward a 2-dimensional diffusion process that reaches (0,0) almost surely in finite time.
A Mathematical Theory of Natural and Artificial Selection, Part V: Selection and Mutation
TLDR
This work shall first consider initial conditions, when only a few of the new type exist as the result of a single mutation; and then the course of events in a population where the new factor is present in such numbers as to be in no danger of extinction by mere bad luck.
