Lines of descent in a Moran model with frequency-dependent selection and mutation (2011.08888v3)

Abstract: We study ancestral structures for the two-type Moran model with mutation and frequency-dependent selection under the nonlinear dominance or fittest-type-wins scheme. Under appropriate conditions, both lead, in distribution, to the same type-frequency process. Reasoning through the mutations on the ancestral selection graph (ASG), we develop the corresponding killed and pruned lookdown ASG and use them to determine the present and ancestral type distributions. To this end, we establish factorial moment dualities to the Moran model and a relative. We extend the results to the diffusion limit and present applications for finite population size as well as moderate and weak selection.
