DESCRIPTION:Anne-Florence Bitbol (EPFL)\nWe are delighted to announce that
  the next seminar of TheBioNet will take place on Wednesday\, 28 April\, 2
 021\, 16:00-17:00\, over Zoom\nSpeaker: Anne-Florence Bitbol (EPFL)\nTitle
 : Impact of population spatial structure on mutant fixation probabilities\
 , from models on graphs to the gut\n\nMicrobial populations often have com
 plex spatial structures\, with homogeneous competition holding only at a l
 ocal scale. Population structure can strongly impact evolution\, in partic
 ular by affecting the fixation probability of mutants. Anne-Florence Bitbo
 l will first discuss a general model for describing structured population
 s on graphs. Then she will show that the specific structure of the gut wit
 h gradients of food and bacterial concentrations can increase the fixation
  probability of neutral mutants\, which can have consequences for the dive
 rsity of the microbiota.\n----------------------\n\nYoutube channel\nThe r
 ecordings from November and December of 2020 are now online at our new you

  will also post recordings of upcoming talks.\n\nAbout us\nThe aim of TheB
 ioNet is to build a community of researchers working on diverse topics in 
 mathematical and theoretical biology in Western Switzerland. Every semeste
 r we are holding seminars every two weeks where we have invited researcher
 s from Western Switzerland working in theoretical and mathematical biology
