The long-term evolution of multilocus traits under frequency-dependent disruptive selection.
Frequency-dependent disruptive selection is widely recognized as an important source of genetic variation. Its evolutionary consequences have been extensively studied using phenotypic evolutionary models, based on quantitative genetics, game theory, or adaptive dynamics. However, the genetic assumptions underlying these approaches are highly idealized and, even worse, predict different conseque...
متن کاملEffects of genetic architecture on the evolution of assortative mating under frequency-dependent disruptive selection.
We consider a model of sympatric speciation due to frequency-dependent competition, in which it was previously assumed that the evolving traits have a very simple genetic architecture. In the present study, we numerically analyze the consequences of relaxing this assumption. First, previous models assumed that assortative mating evolves in infinitesimal steps. Here, we show that the range of pa...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”
The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...
متن کاملThe evolution of multilocus systems under weak selection.
The evolution of multilocus systems under weak selection is investigated. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the monoecious population mates at random. The number of multi-allelic loci, the linkage map, dominance, and epistasis are arbitrary. The genotypic fitnesses may depend on the gametic frequencies and time. The results hold for s << cmin, where s and cmin denote the selection in...
متن کاملOptimization under frequency-dependent selection.
We consider a model of frequency-dependent selection, which we refer to as the Wildcard Model. A variety of more specific models, representing quite diverse biological situations, are covered by the Wildcard Model as particular cases. Two very different particular models that are subsumed by the Wildcard Model are the game theoretically motivated two-phenotype model of Lessard [Lessard, S.,1984...
