The best of both worlds: Combining population genetic and quantitative genetic models [0.03%]
两者兼得:结合人口遗传和数量遗传模型

Numerous traits under migration-selection balance are shown to exhibit complex patterns of genetic architecture with large variance in effect sizes. However, the conditions under which such genetic architectures are stable have yet to be in...

The concept of the average effect of an allele pervades much of evolutionary population genetics. In this context the average effect of an allele is often considered as the main component of the "fitness" of that allele. It is widely believ...
Competitive exclusion in a model with seasonality: Three species cannot coexist in an ecosystem with two seasons [0.03%]
季节性模型中的竞争排除:三个物种不能共存于一个两季生态系统中
Hwai-Ray Tung,Rick Durrett
Hwai-Ray Tung
Chan, Durrett, and Lanchier introduced a multitype contact process with temporal heterogeneity involving two species competing for space on the d-dimensional integer lattice. Time is divided into two seasons. They proved that there is an op...
A central limit theorem concerning uncertainty in estimates of individual admixture [0.03%]
关于个体杂交估计中不确定性的中心极限定理
Peter Pfaffelhuber,Angelika Rohde
Peter Pfaffelhuber
The concept of individual admixture (IA) assumes that the genome of individuals is composed of alleles inherited from K ancestral populations. Each copy of each allele has the same chance qk to originate from population k, and together with...

Ancestral state reconstruction is one of the most important tasks in evolutionary biology. Conditions under which we can reliably reconstruct the ancestral state have been studied for both discrete and continuous traits. However, the connec...
Theoretical analysis of principal components in an umbrella model of intraspecific evolution [0.03%]
伞形种内进化模型的主要组成部分的理论分析

Maxime Estavoyer
Principal component analysis (PCA) is one of the most frequently-used approach to describe population structure from multilocus genotype data. Regarding geographic range expansions of modern humans, interpretations of PCA have, however, bee...
Drewnowski's index to measure lifespan variation: Revisiting the Gini coefficient of the life table [0.03%]
Drewnowski指数衡量寿命变异:生命表的Gini系数的新视角

José Manuel Aburto et al.
The Gini coefficient of the life table is a concentration index that provides information on lifespan variation. Originally proposed by economists to measure income and wealth inequalities, it has been widely used in population studies to i...
Rates of convergence in the two-island and isolation-with-migration models [0.03%]
双岛模型和隔离伴随迁移模型的收敛速率

A number of powerful demographic inference methods have been developed in recent years, with the goal of fitting rich evolutionary models to genetic data obtained from many populations. In this paper we investigate the statistical performan...
Limiting distribution of X-chromosomal coalescence times under first-cousin consanguineous mating [0.03%]
近亲(堂表兄妹)婚配下X染色体有效群体大小及基因共祖时间分布的研究

Daniel J Cotter et al.
By providing additional opportunities for coalescence within families, the presence of consanguineous unions in a population reduces coalescence times relative to non-consanguineous populations. First-cousin consanguinity can take one of si...

In classical epidemic theory, behavior is assumed to be stationary. In recent years, epidemic models have been extended to include behaviors that transition in response to the current state of the epidemic. However, it is widely known that ...
