This study uses simulations to show balancing selection in source populations increases colonization success in new habitats when founder populations are small, regardless of environmental conditions.

This study shows that the spatial storage effect enhances population persistence in variable environments by enabling evolutionary rescue, even in small populations with fluctuating sizes.

This study shows that host population social stratification increases pathogen strain diversity by creating balancing selection pressures that support stable viral coexistence.
