Popis: In this paper, we uncover new asymptotic isolation by distance patterns occurring under long-range dispersal of offspring. We extend a recent work of the first author, in which this information was obtained from forwards-in-time dynamics using a novel stochastic partial differential equations approach for spatial $\Lambda$-Fleming-Viot models. The latter were introduced by Barton, Etheridge and V\'eber as a framework to model the evolution of the genetic composition of a spatially structured population. Reproduction takes place through extinction-recolonisation events driven by a Poisson point process. During an event, in certain ball-shaped areas, a parent is sampled and a proportion of the population is replaced. We generalize the previous approach of the first author by allowing the area from which a parent is sampled during events to differ from the area in which offspring are dispersed, and the radii of these regions follow power-law distributions. In particular, while in previous works the motion of ancestral lineages and coalescence behaviour were closely linked, we demonstrate that local and non-local coalescence is possible for ancestral lineages governed by both fractional and standard Laplacians.
