The effects of competition on the strength and softness of selection.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2012

Ho E K H, Agrawal A F

Abstract excerpt

Deleterious alleles are constantly introduced into populations due to mutation. In subdivided populations, the impact of these mutations depends on the strength of selection as well as the softness of selection, that is, the extent to which fitness is governed by local rather than global competition. It is widely appreciated that the intensity and type of competition will affect selection on deleterious mutations...
