Establishment of a locally adaptive allele in multidimensional continuous space
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Local adaptation is widely seen when species adapt to spatially heterogeneous environments. Although many theoretical studies have investigated the dynamics of local adaptation using 2-population models, there remains a need to extend the theoretical framework to continuous space settings, reflecting the real habitats of species. In this study, we use a multidimensional continuous space model and mathematically analyze the establishment process of local adaptation, with a specific emphasis on the relative roles of mutation and migration. First, the role of new mutations is evaluated by deriving the establishment probability of a locally adapted mutation using a branching process and a diffusion approximation. Next, the contribution of immigrants from a neighboring region with similar environmental conditions is considered. Theoretical predictions of the local adaptation rate agreed with the results of Wright-Fisher simulations in both mutation-driven and migration-driven cases. Evolutionary dynamics depend on several factors, including the strength of migration and selection, population density, habitat size, and spatial dimensions. These results offer a theoretical framework for assessing whether mutation or migration predominantly drives convergent local adaptation in spatially continuous environments in the presence of patchy regions with similar environmental conditions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
