Positive feedback and alternative stable states in inbreeding, cooperation, sex roles and other evolutionary processes.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 19 Jan 2012

Lehtonen Jussi, Kokko Hanna

Abstract excerpt

A large proportion of studies in systems science focus on processes involving a mixture of positive and negative feedbacks, which are also common themes in evolutionary ecology. Examples of negative feedback are density dependence (population regulation) and frequency-dependent selection (polymorphisms). Positive feedback, in turn, plays a role in Fisherian 'runaway' sexual selection, the evolution of...
