The Origins of Lactase Persistence in Europe (2009, background): “However, previous simulations have shown that the geographic centroid of allele can be offset from its location of origin, particularly when it occurs on the wave front of a demographic expansion [29,30].”
Detecting loci under selection in a hierarchically structured population (2009, background): “Indeed, allele surfing during range expansions (Klopfstein et al., 2006) can also lead to high levels of differentiation between populations in the periphery of the range at a random locus (Hallatschek et al.”
Implications and future prospects for evolutionary analyses of DNA in historical herbarium collections (2018, background): “Simulation studies showed that this is especially the case when alleles are surfing on a migration wave (Edmonds, Lillie, and Cavalli-Sforza 2004; Klopfstein, Currat, and Excoffier 2006), as may be the case, for example, in expanding populations of an invasive plant.”
Ecological genetics of invasive alien species (2011, background): “On a cautionary note, recent studies (e.g. Klopfstein et al. 2006; Excoffier and Ray 2008) have shown that a neutral phenomenon occurring during a population range expansion could be interpreted as a signature of positive selection.”
Landscape Genomics: Understanding Relationships Between Environmental Heterogeneity and Genomic Characteristics of Populations (2017, background): “Since this can generate genetic drift in the same direction of species’ colonization, allele frequencies can be driven to fixation, making it problematic to distinguish neutral from adaptive genetic signatures (Klopfstein et al. 2006; Frichot et al. 2015).”
Emergence of Spatial Structure in Cell Groups and the Evolution of Cooperation (2010, methodology): “This observation has been used predominantly to motivate new population genetic models [28–30].”
Paleoecology meets genetics: deciphering past vegetational dynamics (2009, background): “Recent studies (Klopfstein et al. 2006; Currat et al. 2008) help to clarify how events at the time of an invasion can have such a disproportionate and long-lasting impact on the genetic structure of an organism.”
Paradigm shifts in marine fisheries genetics: ugly hypotheses slain by beautiful facts (2008, background): “Gene surfing is particularly potent if deme (local population) sizes at the edge of the expansion wave are small (Klopfstein et al. 2006), and so their prevalence in marine species is currently uncertain.”
Comparative phylogeography and population structure of European Betula species, with particular focus on B. pendula and B. pubescens (2007, background): “Nonetheless, recent theoretical studies show that the genetic pattern resulting from range expansions could be very different from the pattern generated by stationary distributions and closely dependent on the details of the recolonization process (Austerlitz et al., 2000; Klopfstein et al., 2006).”
