We construct a measure-valued equivalent to the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process (SLFV) introduced in [Eth08]. In contrast with the construction carried out in [Eth08], we fix the realization of the sequence of reproduction events and obtain a quenched evolution of the local genetic diversities. To this end, we use a particle representation which highlights the role of the genealogies in the attribution of types (or alleles) to the individuals of the population. This construction also…

The k-parent spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process as a stochastic measure-valued model for an expanding population
An alternative construction of the k-parent SLFV is introduced, adapted from [38], which allows us to couple SLFVs with different selection strengths and is reminiscent of the Eden growth model, but with an associated dual process of potential ancestors, making it possible to investigate the genetic diversity in a population sample.
Pathwise construction of tree-valued Fleming-Viot processes
In a random complete and separable metric space that we call the lookdown space, we encode the genealogical distances between all individuals ever alive in a lookdown model with simultaneous multiple
The spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process with fluctuating selection
• Mathematics
• 2018
We are interested in populations in which the fitness of different genetic types fluctuates in time and space, driven by temporal and spatial fluctuations in the environment. For simplicity, our
Stochastic measure-valued models for populations expanding in a continuum
We model spatially expanding populations by means of two spatial Λ-Fleming Viot processes (or SLFVs) with selection: the k -parent SLFV and the ∞ -parent SLFV. In order to do so, we ﬁll empty areas

Rate of coalescence of pairs of lineages in the spatial {\lambda}-Fleming-Viot process
• Biology
• 2021
This work revisits the spatial λ-Fleming-Viot process and addresses the question of whether the genealogical process of the model "comes down from infinity", which has been partly answered before.
The Brownian Net and Selection in the Spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot Process
• Mathematics
• 2015
We obtain the Brownian net of Sun and Swart (2008) as the scaling limit of the paths traced out by a system of continuous (one-dimensional) space and time branching and coalescing random walks. This

Representations of population models in terms of countable systems of particles are constructed, in which each particle has a `type', typically recording both spatial position and genetic type, and a
Rescaling the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process and convergence to super-Brownian motion
• Mathematics

• 2020
We show that a space-time rescaling of the spatial Lamba-Fleming-Viot process of Barton and Etheridge converges to super-Brownian motion. This can be viewed as an extension of a result of
