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: "Natural environments are never constant but subject to spatial and temporal
change on\r\nall scales, increasingly so due to human activity. Hence, it is crucial
to understand the\r\nimpact of environmental variation on evolutionary processes.
In this thesis, I present\r\nthree topics that share the common theme of environmental
variation, yet illustrate its\r\neffect from different perspectives.\r\nFirst,
I show how a temporally fluctuating environment gives rise to second-order\r\nselection
on a modifier for stress-induced mutagenesis. Without fluctuations, when\r\npopulations
are adapted to their environment, mutation rates are minimized. I argue\r\nthat
a stress-induced mutator mechanism may only be maintained if the population is\r\nrepeatedly
subjected to diverse environmental challenges, and I outline implications of\r\nthe
presented results to antibiotic treatment strategies.\r\nSecond, I discuss my
work on the evolution of dispersal. Besides reproducing\r\nknown results about
the effect of heterogeneous habitats on dispersal, it identifies\r\nspatial changes
in dispersal type frequencies as a source for selection for increased\r\npropensities
to disperse. This concept contains effects of relatedness that are known\r\nto
promote dispersal, and I explain how it identifies other forces selecting for
dispersal\r\nand puts them on a common scale.\r\nThird, I analyse genetic variances
of phenotypic traits under multivariate stabilizing\r\nselection. For the case
of constant environments, I generalize known formulae of\r\nequilibrium variances
to multiple traits and discuss how the genetic variance of a focal\r\ntrait is
influenced by selection on background traits. I conclude by presenting ideas and\r\npreliminary
work aiming at including environmental fluctuations in the form of moving\r\ntrait
optima into the model."

text: "Evolution of gene regulation is important for phenotypic evolution and diversity.
Sequence-specific binding of regulatory proteins is one of the key regulatory
mechanisms determining gene expression. Although there has been intense interest
in evolution of regulatory binding sites in the last decades, a theoretical understanding
is far from being complete. In this thesis, I aim at a better understanding of
the evolution of transcriptional regulatory binding sequences by using biophysical
and population genetic models.\r\nIn the first part of the thesis, I discuss how
to formulate the evolutionary dynamics of binding se- quences in a single isolated
binding site and in promoter/enhancer regions. I develop a theoretical framework
bridging between a thermodynamical model for transcription and a mutation-selection-drift
model for monomorphic populations. I mainly address the typical evolutionary rates,
and how they de- pend on biophysical parameters (e.g. binding length and specificity)
and population genetic parameters (e.g. population size and selection strength).\r\nIn
the second part of the thesis, I analyse empirical data for a better evolutionary
and biophysical understanding of sequence-specific binding of bacterial RNA polymerase.
First, I infer selection on regulatory and non-regulatory binding sites of RNA
polymerase in the E. coli K12 genome. Second, I infer the chemical potential of
RNA polymerase, an important but unknown physical parameter defining the threshold
energy for strong binding. Furthermore, I try to understand the relation between
the lac promoter sequence diversity and the LacZ activity variation among 20 bacterial
isolates by constructing a simple but biophysically motivated gene expression
model. Lastly, I lay out a statistical framework to predict adaptive point mutations
in de novo promoter evolution in a selection experiment."

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
for their e ff orts helping with the field work. Furthermore I thank Coline Jaworski
for providing seeds and for her input into the design of the experimental arrays,
and Matthew Couchman for maintaining the database of. \r\n\r\nIn addition to those
mentioned above, I am grateful to Melinda Pickup, Spencer Barrett, and four anonymous
reviewers for their insightful comments on sections of this manuscript. I also thank
Jana Porsche for her e ff orts in tracking down the more obscure references for
chapter 5, and Jon Bollback for his advice about the analysis. \r\n\r\nI am indebted
to Jon Ågren for his patience whilst I finished this thesis, and to Sylvia Cremer
and Magnus Nordborg for taking the time to read and evaluate the thesis given a
shorter deadline than was fair. \r\n\r\nA very positive aspect of my PhD has been
the supportive atmosphere of IST. In particular, I have come to appreciate the enormous
support from our group assistants Nicole Hotzy, Julia Asimakis, Christine Ostermann
and Jerneja Beslagic. I also thank Christian Chaloupka and Stefan Hipfinger for
their enthusiasm and readiness to help where possible in setting up our greenhouse
and experiments. "

total of 36 plants in a grid inside a closed organza tent, with a single hive

how to deal with snapdragons, I observed pollinators foraging on plants, and recorded
the transitions between plants. Thereafter seeds on plants were allowed to develops.
A sample of these were grown to maturity when their flower colour could be determined,
and they were scored as yellow, magenta, or hybrid."

tag drops out, and one can infer a visit. We surveyed plants over multiple days

text: Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) form a popular optimisation paradigm inspired
by natural evolution. In recent years the field of evolutionary computation has
developed a rigorous analytical theory to analyse their runtime on many illustrative
problems. Here we apply this theory to a simple model of natural evolution. In
the Strong Selection Weak Mutation (SSWM) evolutionary regime the time between
occurrence of new mutations is much longer than the time it takes for a new beneficial
mutation to take over the population. In this situation, the population only contains
copies of one genotype and evolution can be modelled as a (1+1)-type process where
the probability of accepting a new genotype (improvements or worsenings) depends
on the change in fitness. We present an initial runtime analysis of SSWM, quantifying
its performance for various parameters and investigating differences to the (1+1)
EA. We show that SSWM can have a moderate advantage over the (1+1) EA at crossing
fitness valleys and study an example where SSWM outperforms the (1+1) EA by taking
advantage of information on the fitness gradient.

text: Evolutionary biologists have an array of powerful theoretical techniques that
can accurately predict changes in the genetic composition of populations. Changes
in gene frequencies and genetic associations between loci can be tracked as they
respond to a wide variety of evolutionary forces. However, it is often less clear
how to decompose these various forces into components that accurately reflect
the underlying biology. Here, we present several issues that arise in the definition
and interpretation of selection and selection coefficients, focusing on insights
gained through the examination of selection coefficients in multilocus notation.
Using this notation, we discuss how its flexibility-which allows different biological
units to be identified as targets of selection-is reflected in the interpretation
of the coefficients that the notation generates. In many situations, it can be
difficult to agree on whether loci can be considered to be under "direct"
versus "indirect" selection, or to quantify this selection. We present
arguments for what the terms direct and indirect selection might best encompass,
considering a range of issues, from viability and sexual selection to kin selection.
We show how multilocus notation can discriminate between direct and indirect selection,
and describe when it can do so.

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.

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: '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"
