This paper studies gene genealogies in diploid populations under sweepstakes reproduction, showing that heavy-tailed offspring distributions lead to specific coalescent processes.

This paper studies gene genealogies in haploid populations under sweepstakes reproduction, showing coalescent processes and their approximations in varying population sizes and environments.

The paper extends a sweepstakes reproduction model to analyze coalescent processes and evaluates the error of coalescent approximations under different population size scenarios.

The paper introduces msprime 1.0, a high-performance simulation tool for ancestry and mutation in population genetics, showing it is faster and more memory efficient than existing alternatives.
