We identify a new natural coalescent structure, which we call the seed-bank coalescent, that
describes the gene genealogy of populations under the influence of a strong seed-bank …

A two-types, discrete-time population model with finite, constant size is constructed, allowing
for a general form of frequency-dependent selection and skewed offspring distribution. …

We analyze patterns of genetic variability of populations in the presence of a large seedbank
with the help of a new coalescent structure called the seedbank coalescent. This ancestral …

Bacterial genomes are mosaics with fragments showing distinct phylogenetic origins or
even being unrelated to any other genetic information (ORFan genes). Thus the analysis of …

We introduce a new Wright-Fisher type model for seed banks incorporating “simultaneous
switching”, which is motivated by recent work on microbial dormancy ([21], [28]). We show that …

We define a new class of Ξ-coalescents characterized by a possibly infinite measure over
the nonnegative integers. We call them symmetric coalescents since they are the unique …

Background: Almost all nutrition policies in Colombia currently focus on either undernutrition
or obesity, with the predominant emphasis on undernutrition. It is crucial to assess the …

For a class of Cannings models we prove Haldane’s formula, $$\pi (s_N) \sim \frac{2s_N}{\rho
^2}$$ π ( s N ) ∼ 2 s N ρ 2 , for the fixation probability of a single beneficial mutant in the …

We investigate the behaviour of the genealogy of a Wright-Fisher population model under the
influence of a strong seedbank effect. More precisely, we consider a simple seedbank age …

We investigate various aspects of the (biallelic) Wright–Fisher diffusion with seed bank in
conjunction with and contrast to the two-island model analysed eg in Kermany et al. (Theor …
