Frequency-dependent selection: when being different makes you not stand out.

Current biology : CB - 19 Sept 2006

Nosil Patrik

Abstract excerpt

A recent study reports frequency-dependent survival within highly variable guppy populations. Fitness advantages to rare genotypes may help maintain variation within populations, but the mechanisms underlying these advantages require further study.
