The ecological genetics of conditional strategies.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2004

Hazel Wade, Smock Richard, Lively Curtis M

Abstract excerpt

We develop a quantitative genetic model for conditional strategies that incorporates the ecological realism of previous strategic models. Similar to strategic models, the results show that environmental heterogeneity, cue reliability, and environment-dependent fitness trade-offs for the alternative tactics of the conditional strategy interact to determine when conditional strategies will be favored and that...
