Overlapping generations in evolving finite populations double the impact of genetic drift compared to discrete generations. This study analyzes multi-locus population genetics models to understand these dynamics.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Evolutionary biology
  • Mathematical modeling

Background:

  • Previously developed models describe evolving finite populations using cumulants of population efficacy distribution.
  • Existing models primarily focus on discrete generations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Extend existing models to include overlapping generations for multi-locus organisms.
  • Compare the evolutionary dynamics between overlapping and discrete generation models.
  • Analyze the impact of genetic drift under different generational structures.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical solutions derived under the weak selection limit.
  • Comparison of population genetic variance changes in overlapping versus discrete generation models.
  • Utilized cumulant-based dynamics for population efficacy distribution.

Main Results:

  • Genetic drift causes twice the change in population genetic variance in overlapping generations compared to discrete generations.
  • Analytical solutions obtained for the weak selection limit.
  • Dynamics show parallels with one-locus models studied by Moran.

Conclusions:

  • Overlapping generations significantly amplify the effects of genetic drift in finite populations.
  • The extended model provides insights into evolutionary dynamics across different generational structures.
  • Findings contribute to understanding the interplay between population structure and genetic variation.
