摘要:

我们研究了有益和有害突变共同分离时,空间范围扩展对适应度进化的影响。我们进行基于个人的模拟一个统一的线性栖息地,并补充他们的分析近似的平均健身的扩展边缘的演变。我们发现,有害的突变积累稳定的波前范围扩大期间,从而创建一个扩展负载。减少健身由于扩展负载并不限于波前,但发生在很大一部分新殖民的栖息地。扩增负荷可以持续存在,并代表扩增后数千代总突变负荷的主要部分。我们的结果扩展到定性和定量的二维扩展。扩张负荷现象可以解释越来越多的证据表明,最近扩张的人口,包括人类,显示出过量的有害突变。为了测试我们的模型的预测,我们分析了人类中性和非中性遗传多样性〈动〉性<动>的模式,并找到了理论和数据之间的良好拟合。

英文摘要:

We investigate the effect of spatial range expansions on the evolution of fitness when beneficial and deleterious mutations co-segregate. We perform individual-based simulations of a uniform linear habitat and complement them with analytical approximations for the evolution of mean fitness at the edge of the expansion. We find that deleterious mutations accumulate steadily on the wave front during range expansions, thus creating an expansion load. Reduced fitness due to the expansion load is not restricted to the wave front but occurs over a large proportion of newly colonized habitats. The expansion load can persist and represent a major fraction of the total mutation load thousands of generations after the expansion. Our results extend qualitatively and quantitatively to two-dimensional expansions. The phenomenon of expansion load may explain growing evidence that populations that have recently expanded, including humans, show an excess of deleterious mutations. To test the predictions of our model, we analyze patterns of neutral and non-neutral genetic diversity in humans and find an excellent fit between theory and data.
