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.'

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: "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

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.'

abstract:
- lang: eng
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: 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.
