Kin competition, natal dispersal and the moulding of senescence by natural selection.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2010

Ronce Ophélie, Promislow Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Most theoretical models for the evolution of senescence have assumed a very large, well mixed population. Here, we investigate how limited dispersal and kin competition might influence the evolution of ageing by deriving indicators of the force of selection, similar to Hamilton (Hamilton 1966 J. Theor. Biol. 12, 12-45). Our analytical model describes how the strength of selection on survival and fecundity changes...
