Abstract excerpt
The convergence of multilocus systems under viability selection with constant fitnesses is investigated. Generations are discrete and nonoverlapping; the monoecious population mates at random. The number of multiallelic loci, the linkage map, dominance, and epistasis are arbitrary. It is proved that if epistasis or selection is sufficiently weak (and satisfies a certain nondegeneracy assumption whose genericity...
