In growing populations, the fate of mutations depends on their competitive ability against the ancestor and their ability to colonize new territory. Here we present a theory that integrates both aspects of mutant fitness by coupling the classic description of one-dimensional competition (Fisher equation) to the minimal model of front shape (Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation). We solve these equations and find three regimes, which are controlled solely by the expansion rates, solely by the competitive abilities, or by both. Collectively, our results provide a simple framework to study spatial competition.
