The k-parent and infinite-parent spatial Lambda-Fleming Viot processes (or SLFV), introduced in Louvet (2023), form a family of stochastic models for spatially expanding populations. These processes are akin to a continuous-space version of…
We explore the impact of different forms of stochasticity on the expansion dynamics of a stochastic growth model called the $\infty$-parent spatial $\Lambda$-Fleming Viot process. This process belongs to a family of population genetics…
We consider the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process model for frequencies of genetic types in a population living in R^d, with two types of individuals (0 and 1) and natural selection favouring individuals of type 1. We first prove that the…
The spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot (SLFV) process (Barton, Etheridge and V\'eber, 2010) can be seen as a generalised Voter Model with configuration space $M^{R^d}$, where M is the set of probability measures on some space K. Such processes are…
The infinite-parent spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot (SLFV) process is a model of random growth, in which a set evolves by the addition of balls according to points of an underlying Poisson point process, and which was recently introduced to…
We are interested in populations in which the fitness of different genetic types fluctuates in time and space, driven by temporal and spatial fluctuations in the environment. For simplicity, our population is assumed to be composed of just…
We construct a measure-valued equivalent to the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process (SLFV) introduced in [Eth08]. In contrast with the construction carried out in [Eth08], we fix the realization of the sequence of reproduction events and…
We investigate a new model for populations evolving in a spatial continuum. This model can be thought of as a spatial version of the Lambda-Fleming-Viot process. It explicitly incorporates both small scale reproduction events and large…
We propose a new stochastic epidemiological model defined in a continuous space of arbitrary dimension, based on SIS dynamics implemented in a spatial $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot (SLFV) process. The model can be described by as little as three…
We study the large scale behaviour of a population consisting of two types which evolve in dimension d = 1, 2 according to a spatial Lambda- Fleming-Viot process subject to random time-independent selection. If one of the two types is rare…
We consider the spatial Lambda-Fleming-Viot process model for frequencies of genetic types in a population living in R^d, in the special case in which there are just two types of individual, labelled 0 and 1. At time zero, everyone in the…
The paper reviews the results obtained for spatial population models and the evolution of the genealogies of these populations during the last decade by the author and his coworkers. The focus is on their large scale behaviour and on the…
We study a generalised model of population growth in which the state variable is population growth rate instead of population size. Stochastic parametric perturbations, modelling phenotypic variability, lead to a Langevin system with two…
We consider a stochastic individual-based model for the evolution of a haploid, asexually reproducing population. The space of possible traits is given by the vertices of a (possibly directed) finite graph $G=(V,E)$. The evolution of the…
We propose a change in focus from the prevalent paradigm based on the branching property as a tool to analyze the structure of population models, to one based on the self-similarity property, which we also introduce for the first time in…
We consider an individual-based spatially structured population for Darwinian evolution in an asexual population. The individuals move randomly on a bounded continuous space according to a reflected brownian motion. The dynamics involves…
We introduce a modified spatial $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot process to model the ancestry of individuals in a population occupying a continuous spatial habitat divided into two areas by a sharp discontinuity of the dispersal rate and effective…
The first chapter concerns monotype population models. We first study general birth and death processes and we give non-explosion and extinction criteria, moment computations and a pathwise representation. We then show how different scales…
We consider population models in which the individuals reproduce, die and also migrate in space. The population size scales according to some parameter $N$, which can have different interpretations depending on the context. Each individual…
These notes provide a review of basic stochastic population models including branching processes and models of population genetics. Measure-valued population models including superprocesses and Fleming-Viot processes are also introduced…
