Selection against demographic stochasticity in age-structured populations.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2007

Shpak Max

Abstract excerpt

It has been shown that differences in fecundity variance can influence the probability of invasion of a genotype in a population; i.e., a genotype with lower variance in offspring number can be favored in finite populations even if it has a somewhat lower mean fitness than a competitor. In this article, Gillespie's results are extended to population genetic systems with explicit age structure, where the...
