Abstract: We consider an asexually reproducing population on a finite type space whose evolution is driven by exponential birth, death and competition rates, as well as the possibility of mutation at a birth event. On the individual-based level this population can be modelled as a measure-valued Markov process. Multiple variations of this system have been studied in the simultaneous limit of large populations and rare mutations, where the regime is chosen such that mutations are separated. We consider the deterministic system, resulting from the large population limit, and then let the mutation probability tend to zero. This corresponds to a much higher frequency of mutations, where multiple microscopic types are present at the same time. The limiting process resembles an adaptive walk or flight and jumps between different equilibria of coexisting types. The graph structure on the type space, determined by the possibilities to mutate, plays an important role in defining this jump process. In a variation of the above model, where the radius in which mutants can be spread is limited, we study the possibility of crossing valleys in the fitness landscape and derive different kinds of limiting walks.

Review text

A finite space with a graph structure representing the possibility of mutation is considered. At first it is proved that under certain assumptions the considered deterministic model converges pointwise to the deterministic process of the jump in the limit of rare mutations. This process fluctuates between Lotka-Volterra equilibria of current macroscopic types. For a resident population, the growth of various microscopic mutants that compete for invasion of the population should be monitored. The first mutant, having reached the macroscopically visible size of the population, solves the optimization problem; the latter is determined by the distance on the graph to the resident types. The restriction process can be described by its time and transition chain, which are closely related to this optimization problem. The analysis of various limiting processes by changing the parameters of the system is shown. The suitability for an invasion of any type is simply the difference between its individual suitability, determined by the level of fertility and mortality, and the type of resident. Transitions between macroscopic types are determined by balancing the initial conditions, which depend on the distance in the type of space, and high fitness. The authors modify the deterministic system so that subpopulations can be reproduced only when their size exceeds a certain threshold. This limits the radius in which a resident population can raise mutants. The deterministic system is associated with a stochastic model based on the individual, which simulates the simultaneous limit of large populations and rare, but still overlapping mutations. Section 5 of the article considers a special case of equal competition, where it is possible to simplify the description of the process of limit jump. The article concludes with an extension of the original deterministic system, with a limited range of mutations, to simulate scaling at the same time. In the extreme case, when only resident types can stimulate mutants, a greedy adaptive walk occurs in the limit. For intermediate cases, some initial results on type accessibility are provided.
