Adaptation of populations takes place with the occurrence and subsequent fixation of mutations that confer some selective advantage to the individuals that acquire it. For that reason, the study of the process of advantageous mutations fixation has a long history in the population genetics literature. Particularly, the previous investigations aimed to find out the main evolutionary forces affecting the strength of natural selection in the populations. In the current work, we investigate the dynamics of fixation of bene cial mutations in a subdivided population. The subpopulations (demes) can exchange migrants among their neighbors. The migration network is assumed to have either a random graph or a scale-free topology. We have seen that the migration rate drastically affect the dynamics of mutation fixation, despite of the fact that the probability of fixation is invariant on the migration rate, accordingly to Maruyama's conjecture.In addition, we have observed that a topological dependence of the adaptive evolution of the population exists when clonal interference becomes effective.
