Explore the complex interplay between spatial propagation and evolutionary dynamics in natural populations through this 47-minute lecture by Gaël Raoul from CNRS. Delve into the range dynamics of populations adapting their phenotypes to heterogeneous environments, starting with simple 1D linear models and progressing to more complex scenarios. Examine populations in 2D planes and environments with large-scale heterogeneity. Discover how stochastic phenomena can be leveraged to derive simplified macroscopic descriptions of population ranges, providing valuable insights into the spatial structure of asexual populations.
