Abstract
We construct extensions of the pure-jump -Wright–Fisher processes with frequency-dependent selection (-WF with selection) with different behaviors at their boundary . Those processes satisfy some duality relationships with the block counting process of simple exchangeable fragmentation-coagulation processes (EFC processes). One-to-one correspondences are established between the nature of the boundaries and of the processes involved. They provide new information on these two classes of processes. Sufficient conditions are provided for boundary to be an exit boundary or an entrance boundary. When the coalescence measure and the selection mechanism verify some regular variation properties, conditions are found in order that the extended -WF process with selection makes excursions out from the boundary before getting absorbed at . In this case, is a transient regular reflecting boundary. This corresponds to a new phenomenon for the deleterious allele, which can be carried by the whole population for a set of times of zero Lebesgue measure, before vanishing in finite time almost surely.
