… to be displayed in a phylogenetic diagram, as younger haplotypes distort the ancestral
structure through recent parallelisms (H. Wilkinson-Herbots, M. Richards, P. Forster, and B. …

The structured coalescent is used to calculate some quantities relating to the genealogy of a
pair of homologous genes and to the degree of subpopulation differentiation, under a range …

Although sexual reproduction is ubiquitous throughout nature, the molecular machinery
behind it has been repeatedly disrupted during evolution, leading to the emergence of asexual …

This paper is concerned with the “isolation with migration” model, where a panmictic
ancestral population gave rise to a symmetric n-island model, time τ ago. Explicit analytical …

… In this paper we extend the results given in Wilkinson-Herbots (2008) to a model of “isolation
with an initial period of migration” and, as a special case, a model of complete isolation …

… To increase the robustness and performance of the fitting procedure (see also Wilkinson-Herbots
2015, and the references therein), we found the maximum-likelihood estimates for a …

We investigate the dynamics of head lice infections in schools, by consideringa model for
endemic infection based on a stochastic SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic model…

The majority of published human mitochondrial DNA sequence data are confined to
hypervariable region I in the control region. By contrast, this paper focusses on a nucleotide site in …

The CCR5-Δ32 allele crucially determines the course of HIV infection and appears to be
highly protective against the disease. Population genetic studies suggest that the allele has …

Using the structured coalescent model, it is shown that unequal migration rates between
different pairs of subpopulations can increase the value of Wright's coefficient F ST and its …
