A polygenic model for the evolution and maintenance of conditional strategies.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Dec 1990

Hazel W N, Smock R, Johnson M D

Abstract excerpt

We develop a genetic model for conditional strategies which places such strategies in the context of phenotypic plasticity. The model, which treats conditional strategies as polygenic threshold traits, indicates that, given requisite genetic variation in reaction norms, conditional strategies will evolve to their optimum level and be maintained by stabilizing selection, provided environmental variation results in...
