Populations are often spread across a spatially heterogeneous landscape, connected by migration. Consequently, the question arises whether divergent selective forces created spatial heterogeneity can overcome homogenising force of migration and loss diversity through genetic drift to favour different traits space. Such in population due selection is known as local adaptation. While adaptation has been studied variety settings, it remains unclear certain life-history arise. Life-history...

Abstract Fungi expand in space and time to form complex multicellular communities. The mechanisms by which they do so can vary dramatically determine the life-history dispersal traits of expanding populations. These influence deterministic stochastic components evolution, resulting eco-evolutionary dynamics during colony expansion. We perform experiments on budding yeast strains genetically engineered display rough-surface smooth-surface phenotypes colony-like structures called ‘mats’....

Yeasts exist in communities that expand over space and time to form complex structures patterns. We developed a lattice-based framework perform spatial-temporal Monte Carlo simulations of budding yeast colonies exposed different nutrient magnetic field conditions. The patterns haploid diploid cells were incorporated into the framework, as well filamentous growth occurs under limiting Simulation predicted fields decrease colony rate, solidity, roundness. Magnetic further elongation boundary...
