Evolutionary suicide.

Acta biotheoretica - 1 Jan 2005

Parvinen Kalle

Abstract excerpt

The great majority of species that lived on this earth have gone extinct. These extinctions are often explained by invoking changes in the environment, to which the species has been unable to adapt. Evolutionary suicide is an alternative explanation to such extinctions. It is an evolutionary process in which a viable population adapts in such a way that it can no longer persist. In this paper different models,...
