Genetic diversity in age-structured populations



In many population, the behavior of individuals might differ according to their age. This structure of the population have profound influence on the dynamics of the population and in particular, on its genetic diversity. I will first investigate the inside dynamics of expanding solutions to integro--difference equations with stage--structure. I will show that the presence of the structure in the population might modify the nature of the expanding solutions at its leading edge. In particular, expanding solutions with age--structure are pushed in a local sense while in absence of age--structure those solutions are pulled. This work is in collaboration with N Marculis, R Lui and M A Lewis. In a second part, I will investigate the dynamics of the genetic diversity in metapopulations. I show that the age--structure might have profound influence on the local diversity of sub--population composing the metapopulation. This work is in collaboration with P Lafontaine.
