The fixation probability of beneficial mutations is lower in the burst-death model compared to classical models. This new model reveals distinct outcomes for mutations affecting burst size versus burst rate.

Area of Science:

  • Theoretical population genetics
  • Evolutionary biology
  • Mathematical modeling

Background:

  • Estimating fixation probability of beneficial mutations is crucial in population genetics.
  • Classical models often use fixed generation times and stochastic offspring numbers.
  • Life history assumptions significantly impact fixation probability calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compute the fixation probability for a novel "burst-death" life-history model.
  • To analyze fixation probabilities in constant and exponentially growing populations with bottlenecks.
  • To compare fixation probabilities between the burst-death model and classical models.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a "burst-death" life-history model with exponentially distributed generation times and constant offspring numbers.

  • Calculated fixation probabilities for populations of constant size.
  • Estimated fixation probabilities for populations undergoing exponential growth and periodic bottlenecks.

    • Main Results:

    • The burst-death model generally yields substantially lower fixation probabilities than classical models.
    • Beneficial mutations increasing burst size have different effects than those increasing burst rate.
    • In the burst-death model, fixation probability becomes dependent solely on burst rate when burst size is sufficiently large.

    Conclusions:

    • The burst-death model offers a more realistic, albeit lower, estimate of beneficial mutation fixation probability.
    • Life history details, specifically burst dynamics, critically influence evolutionary trajectories.
    • The model highlights the distinct evolutionary consequences of changes in burst size versus burst rate.
