This study shows that migration does not alter the stability of genetic equilibria. Gene frequencies will always converge to a stable point, regardless of population structure.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Mathematical biology
  • Evolutionary dynamics

Background:

  • Investigating gene frequency evolution under selection and migration is crucial for understanding population dynamics.
  • Previous models often simplified habitat structures or migration patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of migration on gene frequencies in a finite habitat.
  • To determine the stability of genetic equilibria under combined selection and migration.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a semilinear parabolic system for diffusion approximation.
  • Analyzing drift and diffusion coefficients in arbitrary dimensions and shapes.
  • Examining uniform equilibrium points under pure selection and migration.

Main Results:

  • Identified migration-selection equilibria that match pure selection equilibria.
  • Demonstrated that migration generically does not change the stability of these equilibria.
  • Proved convergence to globally asymptotically stable internal equilibria.

Conclusions:

  • Spatial distribution has no long-term genetic indication when selection is strong.
  • Migration's effect on genetic stability is minimal under certain conditions.
  • The findings offer insights into genetic diversity maintenance in structured populations.
