text: Hybrid zones represent evolutionary laboratories, where recombination brings
together alleles in combinations which have not previously been tested by selection.
This provides an excellent opportunity to test the effect of molecular variation
on fitness, and how this variation is able to spread through populations in a
natural context. The snapdragon Antirrhinum majus is polymorphic in the wild for
two loci controlling the distribution of yellow and magenta floral pigments. Where
the yellow A. m. striatum and the magenta A. m. pseudomajus meet along a valley
in the Spanish Pyrenees they form a stable hybrid zone Alleles at these loci recombine
to give striking transgressive variation for flower colour. The sharp transition
in phenotype over ~1km implies strong selection maintaining the hybrid zone. An
indirect assay of pollinator visitation in the field found that pollinators forage
in a positive-frequency dependent manner on Antirrhinum, matching previous data
on fruit set. Experimental arrays and paternity analysis of wild-pollinated seeds
demonstrated assortative mating for pigmentation alleles, and that pollinator
behaviour alone is sufficient to explain this pattern. Selection by pollinators
should be sufficiently strong to maintain the hybrid zone, although other mechanisms
may be at work. At a broader scale I examined evolutionary transitions between
yellow and anthocyanin pigmentation in the tribe Antirrhinae, and found that selection
has acted strate that pollinators are a major determinant of reproductive success
and mating patterns in wild Antirrhinum.
acknowledgement: "I am indebted to many people for their support during my PhD, but
I particularly wish to thank Nick Barton for his guidance and intuition, and for
encouraging me to take the time to look beyond the immediate topic of my PhD to
understand the broader context. I am also especially grateful to David Field his
bottomless patience, invaluable advice on experimental design, analysis and scientific
writing, and for tireless work on the population surveys and genomic work without
most of my thesis could not have happened. \r\n\r\nIt has been a pleasure to work
with the combined strengths of the groups at The John Innes Centre, University of
Toulouse and IST Austria. Thanks to Enrico Coen and his group for hosting me in
Norwich in 2011 and especially for setting up the tag experiment. \r\n\r\nI thank
David Field, Desmond Bradley and Maria Clara Melo-Hurtado for organising field collections,
as well as Monique Burrus and Christophe Andalo and a large number of volunteers

text: 'Selection, mutation, and random drift affect the dynamics of allele frequencies
and consequently of quantitative traits. While the macroscopic dynamics of quantitative
traits can be measured, the underlying allele frequencies are typically unobserved.
Can we understand how the macroscopic observables evolve without following these
microscopic processes? This problem has been studied previously by analogy with
statistical mechanics: the allele frequency distribution at each time point is
approximated by the stationary form, which maximizes entropy. We explore the limitations
of this method when mutation is small (4Nμ < 1) so that populations are typically
close to fixation, and we extend the theory in this regime to account for changes
in mutation strength. We consider a single diallelic locus either under directional
selection or with overdominance and then generalize to multiple unlinked biallelic
loci with unequal effects. We find that the maximum-entropy approximation is remarkably
accurate, even when mutation and selection change rapidly. '

text: 'The genetic analysis of experimentally evolving populations typically relies
on short reads from pooled individuals (Pool-Seq). While this method provides
reliable allele frequency estimates, the underlying haplotype structure remains
poorly characterized. With small population sizes and adaptive variants that start
from low frequencies, the interpretation of selection signatures in most Evolve
and Resequencing studies remains challenging. To facilitate the characterization
of selection targets, we propose a new approach that reconstructs selected haplotypes
from replicated time series, using Pool-Seq data. We identify selected haplotypes
through the correlated frequencies of alleles carried by them. Computer simulations
indicate that selected haplotype-blocks of several Mb can be reconstructed with
high confidence and low error rates, even when allele frequencies change only
by 20% across three replicates. Applying this method to real data from D. melanogaster
populations adapting to a hot environment, we identify a selected haplotype-block
of 6.93 Mb. We confirm the presence of this haplotype-block in evolved populations
by experimental haplotyping, demonstrating the power and accuracy of our haplotype
reconstruction from Pool-Seq data. We propose that the combination of allele frequency
estimates with haplotype information will provide the key to understanding the
dynamics of adaptive alleles. '

text: Sexual dimorphism in resource allocation is expected to change during the
life cycle of dioecious plants because of temporal differences between the sexes
in reproductive investment. Given the potential for sex-specific differences in
reproductive costs, resource availability may contribute to variation in reproductive
allocation in females and males. Here, we used Rumex hastatulus, a dioecious,
wind-pollinated annual plant, to investigate whether sexual dimorphism varies
with life-history stage and nutrient availability, and determine whether allocation
patterns differ depending on reproductive commitment. To examine if the costs
of reproduction varied between the sexes, reproduction was either allowed or prevented
through bud removal, and biomass allocation was measured at maturity. In a second
experiment to assess variation in sexual dimorphism across the life cycle, and
whether this varied with resource availability, plants were grown in high and
low nutrients and allocation to roots, aboveground vegetative growth and reproduction
were measured at three developmental stages. Males prevented from reproducing
compensated with increased above- and belowground allocation to a much larger
degree than females, suggesting that male reproductive costs reduce vegetative
growth. The proportional allocation to roots, reproductive structures and aboveground
vegetative growth varied between the sexes and among life-cycle stages, but not
with nutrient treatment. Females allocated proportionally more resources to roots
than males at peak flowering, but this pattern was reversed at reproductive maturity
under low-nutrient conditions. Our study illustrates the importance of temporal
dynamics in sex-specific resource allocation and provides support for high male
reproductive costs in wind-pollinated plants.

text: 'How likely is it that a population escapes extinction through adaptive evolution?
The answer to this question is of great relevance in conservation biology, where
we aim at species’ rescue and the maintenance of biodiversity, and in agriculture
and medicine, where we seek to hamper the emergence of pesticide or drug resistance.
By reshuffling the genome, recombination has two antagonistic effects on the probability
of evolutionary rescue: It generates and it breaks up favorable gene combinations.
Which of the two effects prevails depends on the fitness effects of mutations
and on the impact of stochasticity on the allele frequencies. In this article,
we analyze a mathematical model for rescue after a sudden environmental change
when adaptation is contingent on mutations at two loci. The analysis reveals a
complex nonlinear dependence of population survival on recombination. We moreover
find that, counterintuitively, a fast eradication of the wild type can promote
rescue in the presence of recombination. The model also shows that two-step rescue
is not unlikely to happen and can even be more likely than single-step rescue
(where adaptation relies on a single mutation), depending on the circumstances.'

text: Much of quantitative genetics is based on the ‘infinitesimal model’, under
which selection has a negligible effect on the genetic variance. This is typically
justified by assuming a very large number of loci with additive effects. However,
it applies even when genes interact, provided that the number of loci is large
enough that selection on each of them is weak relative to random drift. In the
long term, directional selection will change allele frequencies, but even then,
the effects of epistasis on the ultimate change in trait mean due to selection
may be modest. Stabilising selection can maintain many traits close to their optima,
even when the underlying alleles are weakly selected. However, the number of traits
that can be optimised is apparently limited to ~4Ne by the ‘drift load’, and this
is hard to reconcile with the apparent complexity of many organisms. Just as for
the mutation load, this limit can be evaded by a particular form of negative epistasis.
A more robust limit is set by the variance in reproductive success. This suggests
that selection accumulates information most efficiently in the infinitesimal regime,
when selection on individual alleles is weak, and comparable with random drift.
A review of evidence on selection strength suggests that although most variance
in fitness may be because of alleles with large Nes, substantial amounts of adaptation
may be because of alleles in the infinitesimal regime, in which epistasis has
modest effects.

text: Viral capsids are structurally constrained by interactions among the amino
acids (AAs) of their constituent proteins. Therefore, epistasis is expected to
evolve among physically interacting sites and to influence the rates of substitution.
To study the evolution of epistasis, we focused on the major structural protein
of the ϕX174 phage family by, first, reconstructing the ancestral protein sequences
of 18 species using a Bayesian statistical framework. The inferred ancestral reconstruction
differed at eight AAs, for a total of 256 possible ancestral haplotypes. For each
ancestral haplotype and the extant species, we estimated, in silico, the distribution
of free energies and epistasis of the capsid structure. We found that free energy
has not significantly increased but epistasis has. We decomposed epistasis up
to fifth order and found that higher-order epistasis sometimes compensates pairwise
interactions making the free energy seem additive. The dN/dS ratio is low, suggesting
strong purifying selection, and that structure is under stabilizing selection.
We synthesized phages carrying ancestral haplotypes of the coat protein gene and
measured their fitness experimentally. Our findings indicate that stabilizing
mutations can have higher fitness, and that fitness optima do not necessarily
coincide with energy minima.

text: Evolution of gene regulation is crucial for our understanding of the phenotypic
differences between species, populations and individuals. Sequence-specific binding
of transcription factors to the regulatory regions on the DNA is a key regulatory
mechanism that determines gene expression and hence heritable phenotypic variation.
We use a biophysical model for directional selection on gene expression to estimate
the rates of gain and loss of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) in finite
populations under both point and insertion/deletion mutations. Our results show
that these rates are typically slow for a single TFBS in an isolated DNA region,
unless the selection is extremely strong. These rates decrease drastically with
increasing TFBS length or increasingly specific protein-DNA interactions, making
the evolution of sites longer than ∼ 10 bp unlikely on typical eukaryotic speciation
timescales. Similarly, evolution converges to the stationary distribution of binding
sequences very slowly, making the equilibrium assumption questionable. The availability
of longer regulatory sequences in which multiple binding sites can evolve simultaneously,
the presence of “pre-sites” or partially decayed old sites in the initial sequence,
and biophysical cooperativity between transcription factors, can all facilitate
gain of TFBS and reconcile theoretical calculations with timescales inferred from
comparative genomics.

text: In many social situations, individuals endeavor to find the single best possible
partner, but are constrained to evaluate the candidates in sequence. Examples
include the search for mates, economic partnerships, or any other long-term ties
where the choice to interact involves two parties. Surprisingly, however, previous
theoretical work on mutual choice problems focuses on finding equilibrium solutions,
while ignoring the evolutionary dynamics of decisions. Empirically, this may be
of high importance, as some equilibrium solutions can never be reached unless
the population undergoes radical changes and a sufficient number of individuals
change their decisions simultaneously. To address this question, we apply a mutual
choice sequential search problem in an evolutionary game-theoretical model that
allows one to find solutions that are favored by evolution. As an example, we
study the influence of sequential search on the evolutionary dynamics of cooperation.
For this, we focus on the classic snowdrift game and the prisoner’s dilemma game.

text: By hybridization and backcrossing, alleles can surmount species boundaries
and be incorporated into the genome of a related species. This introgression of
genes is of particular evolutionary relevance if it involves the transfer of adaptations
between populations. However, any beneficial allele will typically be associated
with other alien alleles that are often deleterious and hamper the introgression
process. In order to describe the introgression of an adaptive allele, we set
up a stochastic model with an explicit genetic makeup of linked and unlinked deleterious
alleles. Based on the theory of reducible multitype branching processes, we derive
a recursive expression for the establishment probability of the beneficial allele
after a single hybridization event. We furthermore study the probability that
slightly deleterious alleles hitchhike to fixation. The key to the analysis is
a split of the process into a stochastic phase in which the advantageous alleles
establishes and a deterministic phase in which it sweeps to fixation. We thereafter
apply the theory to a set of biologically relevant scenarios such as introgression
in the presence of many unlinked or few closely linked deleterious alleles. A
comparison to computer simulations shows that the approximations work well over
a large parameter range.

text: Vegetation clearing and land-use change have depleted many natural plant communities
to the point where restoration is required. A major impediment to the success
of rebuilding complex vegetation communities is having regular access to sufficient
quantities of high-quality seed. Seed-production areas (SPAs) can help generate
this seed, but these must be underpinned by a broad genetic base to maximise the
evolutionary potential of restored populations. However, genetic bottlenecks can
occur at the collection, establishment and production stages in SPAs, requiring
genetic evaluation. This is especially relevant for species that may take many
years before a return on SPA investment is realised. Two recently established
yellow box (Eucalyptus melliodora A.Cunn. ex Schauer, Myrtaceae) SPAs were evaluated
to determine whether genetic bottlenecks had occurred between seed collection
and SPA establishment. No evidence was found to suggest that a significant loss
of genetic diversity had occurred at this stage, although there was a significant
difference in diversity between the two SPAs. Complex population genetic structure
was also observed in the seed used to source the SPAs, with up to eight groups
identified. Plant survival in the SPAs was influenced by seed collection location
but not by SPA location and was not associated with genetic diversity. There were
also no associations between genetic diversity and plant growth. These data highlighted
the importance of chance events when establishing SPAs and indicated that the
two yellow box SPAs are likely to provide genetically diverse seed sources for
future restoration projects, especially by pooling seed from both SPAs.

text: 'Background: Indirect genetic effects (IGEs) occur when genes expressed in
one individual alter the expression of traits in social partners. Previous studies
focused on the evolutionary consequences and evolutionary dynamics of IGEs, using
equilibrium solutions to predict phenotypes in subsequent generations. However,
whether or not such steady states may be reached may depend on the dynamics of
interactions themselves. Results: In our study, we focus on the dynamics of social
interactions and indirect genetic effects and investigate how they modify phenotypes
over time. Unlike previous IGE studies, we do not analyse evolutionary dynamics;
rather we consider within-individual phenotypic changes, also referred to as phenotypic
plasticity. We analyse iterative interactions, when individuals interact in a
series of discontinuous events, and investigate the stability of steady state
solutions and the dependence on model parameters, such as population size, strength,
and the nature of interactions. We show that for interactions where a feedback
loop occurs, the possible parameter space of interaction strength is fairly limited,
affecting the evolutionary consequences of IGEs. We discuss the implications of
our results for current IGE model predictions and their limitations.'

text: 'Why do species not adapt to ever-wider ranges of conditions, gradually expanding
their ecological niche and geographic range? Gene flow across environments has
two conflicting effects: although it increases genetic variation, which is a prerequisite
for adaptation, gene flow may swamp adaptation to local conditions. In 1956, Haldane
proposed that, when the environment varies across space, "swamping"
by gene flow creates a positive feedback between low population size and maladaptation,
leading to a sharp range margin. However, current deterministic theory shows that,
when variance can evolve, there is no such limit. Using simple analytical tools
and simulations, we show that genetic drift can generate a sharp margin to a species''
range, by reducing genetic variance below the level needed for adaptation to spatially
variable conditions. Aided by separation of ecological and evolutionary timescales,
the identified effective dimensionless parameters reveal a simple threshold that
predicts when adaptation at the range margin fails. Two observable parameters
determine the threshold: (i) the effective environmental gradient, which can be
measured by the loss of fitness due to dispersal to a different environment; and
(ii) the efficacy of selection relative to genetic drift. The theory predicts
sharp range margins even in the absence of abrupt changes in the environment.
Furthermore, it implies that gradual worsening of conditions across a species''
habitat may lead to a sudden range fragmentation, when adaptation to a wide span
of conditions within a single species becomes impossible.'

text: The behaviour of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is typically analysed using
simulation-based statistical testing-like methods. In this paper, we demonstrate
that we can replace this approach by a formal verification-like method that gives
higher assurance and scalability. We focus on Wagner’s weighted GRN model with
varying weights, which is used in evolutionary biology. In the model, weight parameters
represent the gene interaction strength that may change due to genetic mutations.
For a property of interest, we synthesise the constraints over the parameter space
that represent the set of GRNs satisfying the property. We experimentally show
that our parameter synthesis procedure computes the mutational robustness of GRNs
–an important problem of interest in evolutionary biology– more efficiently than
the classical simulation method. We specify the property in linear temporal logics.
We employ symbolic bounded model checking and SMT solving to compute the space
of GRNs that satisfy the property, which amounts to synthesizing a set of linear
constraints on the weights.

text: 'Entomopathogenic fungi are potent biocontrol agents that are widely used
against insect pests, many of which are social insects. Nevertheless, theoretical
investigations of their particular life history are scarce. We develop a model
that takes into account the main distinguishing features between traditionally
studied diseases and obligate killing pathogens, like the (biocontrol-relevant)
insect-pathogenic fungi Metarhizium and Beauveria. First, obligate killing entomopathogenic
fungi produce new infectious particles (conidiospores) only after host death and
not yet on the living host. Second, the killing rates of entomopathogenic fungi
depend strongly on the initial exposure dosage, thus we explicitly consider the
pathogen load of individual hosts. Further, we make the model applicable not only
to solitary host species, but also to group living species by incorporating social
interactions between hosts, like the collective disease defences of insect societies.
Our results identify the optimal killing rate for the pathogen that minimises
its invasion threshold. Furthermore, we find that the rate of contact between
hosts has an ambivalent effect: dense interaction networks between individuals
are considered to facilitate disease outbreaks because of increased pathogen transmission.
In social insects, this is compensated by their collective disease defences, i.e.,
social immunity. For the type of pathogens considered here, we show that even
without social immunity, high contact rates between live individuals dilute the
pathogen in the host colony and hence can reduce individual pathogen loads below
disease-causing levels.'

text: We consider mating strategies for females who search for males sequentially
during a season of limited length. We show that the best strategy rejects a given
male type if encountered before a time-threshold but accepts him after. For frequency-independent
benefits, we obtain the optimal time-thresholds explicitly for both discrete and
continuous distributions of males, and allow for mistakes being made in assessing
the correct male type. When the benefits are indirect (genes for the offspring)
and the population is under frequency-dependent ecological selection, the benefits
depend on the mating strategy of other females as well. This case is particularly
relevant to speciation models that seek to explore the stability of reproductive
isolation by assortative mating under frequency-dependent ecological selection.
We show that the indirect benefits are to be quantified by the reproductive values
of couples, and describe how the evolutionarily stable time-thresholds can be
found. We conclude with an example based on the Levene model, in which we analyze
the evolutionarily stable assortative mating strategies and the strength of reproductive
isolation provided by them.

text: "We introduce a one-parametric family of tree growth models, in which branching
probabilities decrease with branch age τ as τ-α. Depending on the exponent α,
the scaling of tree depth with tree size n displays a transition between the logarithmic
scaling of random trees and an algebraic growth. At the transition (α=1) tree
depth grows as (logn)2. This anomalous scaling is in good agreement with the trend
observed in evolution of biological species, thus providing a theoretical support
for age-dependent speciation and associating it to the occurrence of a critical
point.\r\n"
