Does frequency-dependent selection optimize fitness?

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Dec 1992

Quenette P Y, Gerard J F

Abstract excerpt

In evolutionary biology, the axiom that natural selection tends ideally to maximize inclusive fitness of the individual or some other suitable quantity is often advanced (Cody, 1974; Maynard Smith, 1978; Krebs & McCleery, 1984; Houston et al., 1988). Moreover, the evolutionists generally distingu...
