Role of mutator alleles in adaptive evolution

TL;DR: Whether high mutation rates might play an important role in adaptive evolution is considered, as models of large, asexual, clonal populations adapting to a new environment show that strong mutator genes can accelerate adaptation, even if the mutator gene remains at a very low frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inclusive fitness theory and eusociality

Patrick Abbot, +137 more
- 24 Mar 2011 - 
TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metapopulation Genetics and the Evolution of Dispersal

TL;DR: It is found that an increase of the level of site saturation increases the dispersal rate, and it is suggested that life-history traits other than dispersal might also experience antagonistic selective forces at the between- and within-deme levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Colonization Processes on Genetic Diversity: Differences Between Annual Plants and Tree Species

TL;DR: It is shown that both a reasonably high level of pollen flow and the life-cycle characteristics of trees are needed to explain the observed structure of genetic diversity and that gene flow and life cycle both have an impact on maternally inherited cytoplasmic genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of coalescence times, genetic diversity and structure during colonization

TL;DR: The authors' results reflect the impact of the founder effect, which becomes stronger as the distance of the deme from the first deme increases, and the distributions of pairwise coalescence times or differences between sequences show a peak corresponding to the colonization period.
