Evolutionary dynamics of complex traits in sexual populations in a heterogeneous environment: how normal?

Abstract: When studying the dynamics of trait distribution of populations in a heterogeneous environment, classical models from quantitative genetics choose to look at its system of moments, specifically the first two ones. Additionally, in order to close the resulting system of equations, they often assume that the trait distribution is Gaussian (see for instance Ronce and Kirkpatrick 2001). The aim of this paper is to introduce a mathematical framework that follows the whole trait distribution (without prior assumptio… Show more

“…To understand this relationship, the approximation of the phenotype distribution appeared necessary. This approach is indeed robust, as shown by several studies following the same methodology in spatial structured population models: discrete patches ([Mirrahimi, 2017] in asexual model and [Dekens, 2020] in the infinitesimal sexual model); dispersal evolution ([Perthame and Souganidis, 2016, Lam and Lou, 2017, Lam, 2017, W Hao, 2021, Calvez et al, 2018] in the asexual case and [Dekens and Lavigne, 2021] in the infinitesimal sexual case). Moreover, this methodology is expected to be efficient to investigate other structured population models.…”

“…The model follows a classical setting of quantitative genetic models for heterogeneous environments (Ronce and Kirkpatrick 2001; Hendry, Day, and Taylor 2001; Débarre, Ronce, and Gandon 2013; Mirrahimi and Gandon 2020; Dekens 2022), which is summarized in Fig. 1.…”

“…However, these methods are not suited to study the patterns of dispersal in fragmented and patchy environments, where the demographic dynamics and the trait dynamics are quite difficult to disentangle, even under stable environment (see Ronce and Kirkpatrick 2001; Hendry, Day, and Taylor 2001; Dekens 2022 for sexual reproduction and Débarre, Ronce, and Gandon 2013; Mirrahimi 2017; Mirrahimi and Gandon 2020 for asexual ones). Therefore, most models studying adaptation to a changing and fragmented environment rely mostly on numerical simulations to explore complex metacommunities dynamics (see Cotto, Wessely, et al 2017 for such a model with multiple traits, species and an age structure, and Walters and Berger 2019 on the contribution of genetic variance on the time to extinction in a migration-mutation-selection-drift framework), or to assess the interplay between dispersal and local competition under a warming climate (Thompson and Fronhofer 2019,McManus et al 2021).…”
