Abstract
If a population, which consists of individuals having genetic variation at one locus, with two alleles A and a, evolves under the influence of migration and selection, gradients in the distribution of alleles may arise. We consider the effect of asymmetry in the migration and spatial dependence of the selection process, upon the emergence and stability of such gradients.
