Monotone and nonmonotone clines with partial panmixia across a geographical barrier

Abstract

The number of clines (i.e., nonconstant equilibria) maintained by viability selection, migration, and partial global panmixia in a step-environment with a geographical barrier is investigated. Our results extend the results of T. Nagylaki (2016, Clines with partial panmixia across a geographical barrier, Theor. Popul. Biol. 109) from the no dominance case to arbitrary dominance and to various other selection functions. Unexpectedly, besides the usual monotone clines, we discover nonmonotone clines with both equal and unequal limits at ±∞.
