Oligomorphic dynamics for analyzing the quantitative genetics of adaptive speciation.
Ecological interaction, including competition for resources, often causes frequency-dependent disruptive selection, which, when accompanied by reproductive isolation, may act as driving forces of adaptive speciation. While adaptive dynamics models have added new perspectives to our understanding of the ecological dimensions of speciation processes, it remains an open question how best to incorp...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics
Genetic analysis of quantitative traits is applied in a wide variety of substantive research areas. Many human characteristics exhibit continuous variation, such as height, weight, intelligence or personality, but the application of quantitative genetics is not limited to traits thought to be continuous. For example, eye color may be assessed in a qualitative fashion – blue versus brown versus ...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics
Essentially all characters show some phenotypic variation, either between individuals within a population and/or between populations. Such variation is probably due to both genetic and environmental differences. Sorting out the nature of these genetic differences, the relative importance of genetic versus environmental factors, and how this phenotypic variation translates into evolutionary chan...
متن کاملQuantitative Genetics and Quantitative Traits
Introduction In the chapter on Mendel and Morgan, we saw how the transmission of genes from one generation to another follows precise mathematical formula. The traits discussed in that chapter, however, were discrete traits—peas are either yellow or green, someone either has a disorder or does not have the disorder. But many behavioral traits are not like these clear-cut, have-it-or-don’t-have-...
متن کاملSystem Dynamics Aproach For Quantitative Risk Allocaion
Allocation of construction risks between clients and their contractors has a significant impact on the total construction costs. This paper presents a system dynamics (SD)-based approach for quantitative risk allocation. Using the proposed SD based approach, all the factors affecting the risk allocation process are modeled. The contractor’s defensive strategies against the one-sided risk alloca...
