Abstract excerpt
For structured populations in equilibrium with everybody born equal, ln(R (0)) is a useful fitness proxy for evolutionarily steady strategy (ESS) and most adaptive dynamics calculations, with R (0) the average lifetime number of offspring in the clonal and haploid cases, and half the average lifetime number of offspring fathered or mothered for Mendelian diploids. When individuals have variable birth states, as...
