Genetic Surfing

Genetic Surfing is a population genetics phenomenon in which neutral or beneficial alleles increase in frequency and spread across a species' expanding range due to spatially biased demographic processes rather than selective advantage, thereby becoming fixed at the wave front of colonization.
