Exact calculations for the deterministic case show that an allele that is favorable when rare is delayed very little even by a strong barrier; its spread is allowed by a time proportional to log((B/σ)√2S)/S, where B is the barrier strength, σ the dispersal range, and fitnesses are 1:1 + S:1 + 2S. However, when there is selection against heterozytes, such that the allele cannot increase from low frequency, a barrier can cause a much greater delay. If gene flow is reduced below a critical value, spread is entirely prevented. Stochastic simulations show that with additive selection, random drift slows down the spread of the allele, below the deterministic speed of σ√2S. The delay to the advance of an advantageous allele caused by a strong barrier can be substantially increased by random drift and increases with B/(2Sρσ2) in a one-dimensional habitat of density ρ. However, with selection against heterozygotes, drift can facilitate the spread and can free an allele that would otherwise be trapped indefinitely by a strong barrier. We discuss the implications of these results for the evolution of chromosome rearrangements."}],"publist_id":"1797","publication":"Genetics","external_id":{"pmid":["9071602"]},"quality_controlled":"1","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article/145/2/493/6018085","open_access":"1"}],"date_published":"1997-02-01T00:00:00Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0016-6731"]},"day":"01","status":"public","pmid":1,"publication_status":"published","oa_version":"Published Version","oa":1,"article_type":"original","acknowledgement":"We are specially grateful to H.
