text: Mutator strains are expected to evolve when the availability and effect of
beneficial mutations are high enough to counteract the disadvantage from deleterious
mutations that will inevitably accumulate. As the population becomes more adapted
to its environment, both availability and effect of beneficial mutations necessarily
decrease and mutation rates are predicted to decrease. It has been shown that
certain molecular mechanisms can lead to increased mutation rates when the organism
finds itself in a stressful environment. While this may be a correlated response
to other functions, it could also be an adaptive mechanism, raising mutation rates
only when it is most advantageous. Here, we use a mathematical model to investigate
the plausibility of the adaptive hypothesis. We show that such a mechanism can
be mantained if the population is subjected to diverse stresses. By simulating
various antibiotic treatment schemes, we find that combination treatments can
reduce the effectiveness of second-order selection on stress-induced mutagenesis.
We discuss the implications of our results to strategies of antibiotic therapy.

text: Speciation results from the progressive accumulation of mutations that decrease
the probability of mating between parental populations or reduce the fitness of
hybrids—the so-called species barriers. The speciation genomic literature, however,
is mainly a collection of case studies, each with its own approach and specificities,
such that a global view of the gradual process of evolution from one to two species
is currently lacking. Of primary importance is the prevalence of gene flow between
diverging entities, which is central in most species concepts and has been widely
discussed in recent years. Here, we explore the continuum of speciation thanks
to a comparative analysis of genomic data from 61 pairs of populations/species
of animals with variable levels of divergence. Gene flow between diverging gene
pools is assessed under an approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) framework. We
show that the intermediate "grey zone" of speciation, in which taxonomy
is often controversial, spans from 0.5% to 2% of net synonymous divergence, irrespective
of species life history traits or ecology. Thanks to appropriate modeling of among-locus
variation in genetic drift and introgression rate, we clarify the status of the
majority of ambiguous cases and uncover a number of cryptic species. Our analysis
also reveals the high incidence in animals of semi-isolated species (when some
but not all loci are affected by barriers to gene flow) and highlights the intrinsic
difficulty, both statistical and conceptual, of delineating species in the grey
zone of speciation.

text: A central issue in cell biology is the physico-chemical basis of organelle
biogenesis in intracellular trafficking pathways, its most impressive manifestation
being the biogenesis of Golgi cisternae. At a basic level, such morphologically
and chemically distinct compartments should arise from an interplay between the
molecular transport and chemical maturation. Here, we formulate analytically tractable,
minimalist models, that incorporate this interplay between transport and chemical
progression in physical space, and explore the conditions for de novo biogenesis
of distinct cisternae. We propose new quantitative measures that can discriminate
between the various models of transport in a qualitative manner-this includes
measures of the dynamics in steady state and the dynamical response to perturbations
of the kind amenable to live-cell imaging.

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: Crossing fitness valleys is one of the major obstacles to function optimization.
In this paper we investigate how the structure of the fitness valley, namely its
depth d and length ℓ, influence the runtime of different strategies for crossing
these valleys. We present a runtime comparison between the (1+1) EA and two non-elitist
nature-inspired algorithms, Strong Selection Weak Mutation (SSWM) and the Metropolis
algorithm. While the (1+1) EA has to jump across the valley to a point of higher
fitness because it does not accept decreasing moves, the non-elitist algorithms
may cross the valley by accepting worsening moves. We show that while the runtime
of the (1+1) EA algorithm depends critically on the length of the valley, the
runtimes of the non-elitist algorithms depend crucially only on the depth of the
valley. In particular, the expected runtime of both SSWM and Metropolis is polynomial
in ℓ and exponential in d while the (1+1) EA is efficient only for valleys of
small length. Moreover, we show that both SSWM and Metropolis can also efficiently
optimize a rugged function consisting of consecutive valleys.

text: 'Gene regulation relies on the specificity of transcription factor (TF)–DNA
interactions. Limited specificity may lead to crosstalk: a regulatory state in
which a gene is either incorrectly activated due to noncognate TF–DNA interactions
or remains erroneously inactive. As each TF can have numerous interactions with
noncognate cis-regulatory elements, crosstalk is inherently a global problem,
yet has previously not been studied as such. We construct a theoretical framework
to analyse the effects of global crosstalk on gene regulation. We find that crosstalk
presents a significant challenge for organisms with low-specificity TFs, such
as metazoans. Crosstalk is not easily mitigated by known regulatory schemes acting
at equilibrium, including variants of cooperativity and combinatorial regulation.
Our results suggest that crosstalk imposes a previously unexplored global constraint
on the functioning and evolution of regulatory networks, which is qualitatively
distinct from the known constraints that act at the level of individual gene regulatory
elements.'

text: "The role of gene interactions in the evolutionary process has long\r\nbeen
controversial. Although some argue that they are not of\r\nimportance, because
most variation is additive, others claim that\r\ntheir effect in the long term
can be substantial. Here, we focus on\r\nthe long-term effects of genetic interactions
under directional\r\nselection assuming no mutation or dominance, and that epistasis
is\r\nsymmetrical overall. We ask by how much the mean of a complex\r\ntrait can
be increased by selection and analyze two extreme\r\nregimes, in which either
drift or selection dominate the dynamics\r\nof allele frequencies. In both scenarios,
epistatic interactions affect\r\nthe long-term response to selection by modulating
the additive\r\ngenetic variance. When drift dominates, we extend Robertson\r\n’\r\ns\r\n[Robertson
A (1960)\r\nProc R Soc Lond B Biol Sci\r\n153(951):234\r\n−\r\n249]\r\nargument
to show that, for any form of epistasis, the total response\r\nof a haploid population
is proportional to the initial total genotypic\r\nvariance. In contrast, the total
response of a diploid population is\r\nincreased by epistasis, for a given initial
genotypic variance. When\r\nselection dominates, we show that the total selection
response can\r\nonly be increased by epistasis when s\r\nome initially deleterious
alleles\r\nbecome favored as the genetic background changes. We find a sim-\r\nple
approximation for this effect and show that, in this regime, it is\r\nthe structure
of the genotype - phenotype map that matters and not\r\nthe variance components
of the population."

text: Background and aims Angiosperms display remarkable diversity in flower colour,
implying that transitions between pigmentation phenotypes must have been common.
Despite progress in understanding transitions between anthocyanin (blue, purple,
pink or red) and unpigmented (white) flowers, little is known about the evolutionary
patterns of flower-colour transitions in lineages with both yellow and anthocyanin-pigmented
flowers. This study investigates the relative rates of evolutionary transitions
between different combinations of yellow- and anthocyanin-pigmentation phenotypes
in the tribe Antirrhineae. Methods We surveyed taxonomic literature for data on
anthocyanin and yellow floral pigmentation for 369 species across the tribe. We
then reconstructed the phylogeny of 169 taxa and used phylogenetic comparative
methods to estimate transition rates among pigmentation phenotypes across the
phylogeny. Key Results In contrast to previous studies we found a bias towards
transitions involving a gain in pigmentation, although transitions to phenotypes
with both anthocyanin and yellow taxa are nevertheless extremely rare. Despite
the dominance of yellow and anthocyanin-pigmented taxa, transitions between these
phenotypes are constrained to move through a white intermediate stage, whereas
transitions to double-pigmentation are very rare. The most abundant transitions
are between anthocyanin-pigmented and unpigmented flowers, and similarly the most
abundant polymorphic taxa were those with anthocyanin-pigmented and unpigmented
flowers. Conclusions Our findings show that pigment evolution is limited by the
presence of other floral pigments. This interaction between anthocyanin and yellow
pigments constrains the breadth of potential floral diversity observed in nature.
In particular, they suggest that selection has repeatedly acted to promote the
spread of single-pigmented phenotypes across the Antirrhineae phylogeny. Furthermore,
the correlation between transition rates and polymorphism suggests that the forces
causing and maintaining variance in the short term reflect evolutionary processes
on longer time scales.

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 inference of demographic history from genome data is hindered by a lack
of efficient computational approaches. In particular, it has proved difficult
to exploit the information contained in the distribution of genealogies across
the genome. We have previously shown that the generating function (GF) of genealogies
can be used to analytically compute likelihoods of demographic models from configurations
of mutations in short sequence blocks (Lohse et al. 2011). Although the GF has
a simple, recursive form, the size of such likelihood calculations explodes quickly
with the number of individuals and applications of this framework have so far
been mainly limited to small samples (pairs and triplets) for which the GF can
be written by hand. Here we investigate several strategies for exploiting the
inherent symmetries of the coalescent. In particular, we show that the GF of genealogies
can be decomposed into a set of equivalence classes that allows likelihood calculations
from nontrivial samples. Using this strategy, we automated blockwise likelihood
calculations for a general set of demographic scenarios in Mathematica. These
histories may involve population size changes, continuous migration, discrete
divergence, and admixture between multiple populations. To give a concrete example,
we calculate the likelihood for a model of isolation with migration (IM), assuming
two diploid samples without phase and outgroup information. We demonstrate the
new inference scheme with an analysis of two individual butterfly genomes from
the sister species Heliconius melpomene rosina and H. cydno.

text: 'Ancestral processes are fundamental to modern population genetics and spatial
structure has been the subject of intense interest for many years. Despite this
interest, almost nothing is known about the distribution of the locations of pedigree
or genetic ancestors. Using both spatially continuous and stepping-stone models,
we show that the distribution of pedigree ancestors approaches a travelling wave,
for which we develop two alternative approximations. The speed and width of the
wave are sensitive to the local details of the model. After a short time, genetic
ancestors spread far more slowly than pedigree ancestors, ultimately diffusing
out with radius ## rather than spreading at constant speed. In contrast to the
wave of pedigree ancestors, the spread of genetic ancestry is insensitive to the
local details of the models.'

abstract:

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.
