Frequency-dependent selection maintains clonal diversity in an asexual organism.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 18 Nov 2008

Weeks Andrew R, Hoffmann Ary A

Abstract excerpt

Asexual organisms can be genetically variable and evolve through time, yet it is not known how genetic diversity is maintained in populations. In sexual organisms, negative frequency-dependent selection plays a role in maintaining diversity at some loci, but in asexual organisms, this mechanism c...
