Motivation fastsimcoal2 extends fastsimcoal, a continuous time coalescent-based genetic
simulation program, by enabling the estimation of demographic parameters under very …

The biotic and abiotic factors that facilitate or hinder species range expansions are many and
complex. We examine the impact of two genetic processes and their interaction on fitness …

With the genetic health of many plant and animal populations deteriorating due to climate
change outpacing adaptation, interventions, such as assisted gene flow (AGF), may provide …

Background selection is a process whereby recurrent deleterious mutations cause a decrease
in the effective population size and genetic diversity at linked loci. Several authors have …

Invasion success of species introduced to novel environments may be facilitated by adaptive
evolution and by phenotypic plasticity. Here we investigate the independent and joint …

Costs of plasticity are thought to have important physiological and evolutionary consequences.
A commonly predicted cost to plasticity is that plastic genotypes are likely to suffer from …

SimBit is a general purpose, high performance forward‐in‐time population genetics simulator.
SimBit can simulate a wide variety of selection scenarios (any selection and dominance …

Background selection is a process whereby recurrent deleterious mutations cause a decrease
in the effective population size and genetic diversity at linked loci. Several authors have …

Plant and animal populations are facing several novel risks such as human-mediated habitat
fragmentation and climate change that threaten their long-term productivity and persistence…
