Spatial genetic structure patterns of phenotype-limited and boundary-limited expanding populations: a simulation study.

Range expansions may create a unique spatial genetic pattern characterized by alternate genetically homogeneous domains and allele frequency clines.Previous attempts to model range expansions have mainly focused on the loss of genetic diversity during expansions.Using individual-based models, we examined spatial genetic patterns under two expansion
