Evaluating genetic drift in time-series evolutionary analysis
The Wright-Fisher model is the most popular population model for describing the behaviour of evolutionary systems with a finite population size. Approximations to the model have commonly been used for the analysis of time-resolved genome sequence data, but the model itself has rarely been tested against genomic data. Here, we evaluate the extent to which it can be inferred as the correct model given experimental data. Given genome-wide data from an evolutionary experiment, we validate the Wright-Fisher model as the better model for variance in a finite population in contrast to a Gaussian model of allele frequency propagation. However, we note a range of circumstances under which the Wright-Fisher model cannot be correctly identified. We discuss the potential for more rapid approximations to the Wright-Fisher model.

Challenges in detecting evolutionary forces in language change using diachronic corpora
Newberry et al. (Detecting evolutionary forces in language change, Nature 551, 2017) tackle an important but difficult problem in linguistics, the testing of selective theories of language change against a null model of …
Time SeriesTime Series AnalysisLimits on the Evolutionary Rates of Biological Traits
This paper focuses on the maximum speed at which biological evolution can occur. I derive inequalities that limit the rate of evolutionary processes driven by natural selection, mutations, or genetic drift. These \emph{r…
Stationary frequencies and mixing times for neutral drift processes with spatial structure
We study a general setting of neutral evolution in which the population is of finite, constant size and can have spatial structure. Mutation leads to different genetic types ("traits"), which can be discrete or continuou…
The Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm Copes Well With Deception and Epistasis
In their recent work, Lehre and Nguyen (FOGA 2019) show that the univariate marginal distribution algorithm (UMDA) needs time exponential in the parent populations size to optimize the DeceptiveLeadingBlocks (DLB) proble…
Evolutionary AlgorithmsMutation Effect Generalizability under Selection-Drift
While Neutral Theory famously describes the number of discrete genetic differences in populations, we consider the number of genetic backgrounds under which such differences are observed - setting limits to the generaliz…
