Altruism, sex, and inbreeding when the genotype-phenotype map is additive.

Abstract excerpt

Recently published theoretical results suggest that, in a sexual population, when genotypes code for phenotypes in a complex manner, it is possible for altruistic genotypes to spread through a metapopulation (i.e. through a collection of subpopulations). This spread tends to occur during periods when the environment deteriorates throughout the metapopulation. By contrast, under asexual reproduction,...
