Rate of coalescence of pairs of lineages in the spatial λ-Fleming-Viot process
We revisit the spatial ${\lambda}$-Fleming-Viot process introduced in [1]. Particularly, we are interested in the time $T_0$ to the most recent common ancestor for two lineages. We distinguish between the case where the process acts on the entire two-dimensional plane, and on a finite rectangle. Utilizing a differential equation linking $T_0$ with the physical distance between the lineages, we arrive at simple and reasonably accurate approximation schemes for both cases. Furthermore, our analysis enables us to address the question of whether the genealogical process of the model "comes down from infinity", which has been partly answered before in [2].

On the connections between the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot model and other processes for analysing geo-referenced genetic data
The introduction of the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot model (LV) in population genetics was mainly driven by the pioneering work of Alison Etheridge, in collaboration with Nick Barton and Amandine V\'eber about ten years a…
The coalescent in finite populations with arbitrary, fixed structure
The coalescent is a stochastic process representing ancestral lineages in a population undergoing neutral genetic drift. Originally defined for a well-mixed population, the coalescent has been adapted in various ways to …
Branching structure of genealogies in spatially growing populations and its implications for population genetics inference
Spatial models where growth is limited to the edge of the expansions have been instrumental to understand the population dynamics and the clone size distribution in growing cellular populations, such as microbial colonie…
Connecting the Dots: Range Expansions across Landscapes with Quenched Noise
When biological populations expand into new territory, the evolutionary outcomes can be strongly influenced by genetic drift, the random fluctuations in allele frequencies. Meanwhile, spatial variability in the environme…
A lattice structure for ancestral configurations arising from the relationship between gene trees and species trees
To a given gene tree topology $G$ and species tree topology $S$ with leaves labeled bijectively from a fixed set $X$, one can associate a set of ancestral configurations, each of which encodes a set of gene lineages that…
