Consider a species scattered along a linear habitat. Physical obstacles can locally reduce migration and genetic exchanges between different parts of space. Tracing the position of an individual's ancestor(s) back in time allows to compute the expected genetic composition of such a population. These ancestral lineages behave as simple random walks on the integers outside of a bounded set around the origin. We present a continuous real-valued process which is obtained as a scaling limit of these random walks, and we give several other constructions of this process.
