The authors study the interacting particle systems with behavior having an interesting interpretation in the hybrid zones sense (they concentrate on the allele frequency at the selected locus). Let \(\eta_t\) be the nonhomogeneous biased voter model on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) where \(1\)'s are favored on \((0,\infty)\times \mathbb{Z}^{d-1}\) and \(0\)'s are favored on \((-\infty,0]\times \mathbb{Z}^{d-1}\). The rates of transitions are specified in terms of the system state \(\eta\), parameter \(\beta\) and probability distribution \(q\) (with certain properties) on \(\mathbb{Z}^d\). One starts with \(\eta_0(x)=0\) if \(x_1 \leq 0\) and \(\eta_0(x) =1\) if \(x_1>0\). Set \(w_{\beta}= 1/\beta\) if \(d=1\), \(w_{\beta}=\beta^{-1/2} (\log(1/\beta))^{1/2}\) if \(d=2\) and \(w_{\beta}=\beta^{-1/2}\) for \(\beta \geq 3\). It is proved that there exists a nontrivial stationary distribution \(\xi_{\infty}\) such that \[ \lim_{k\to \infty}\liminf_{\beta\to 0}\inf_{x_1 \geq kw_{\beta}} { P}(\xi_{\infty} =1)=1,\;\; \lim_{k\to \infty}\limsup_{\beta\to 0}\sup_{x_1 \leq -kw_{\beta}} { P}(\xi_{\infty} =1)=0. \] For \(d\geq 2\) or in the one-dimensional nearest neighbor case it is established that \[ \limsup_{\beta\to 0} \sup_{0\leq x_1 \leq w_{\beta}} { P}(\xi_{\infty} =1)<1. \] The value \(w_{\beta}\) has the meaning of the hybrid zone. The comparison of different models (including those treated in the biology literature) based on PDEs is provided as well.
