Alternative fitness models with the same allele frequency dynamics.

Genetics - 1 May 1990

Abstract excerpt

For any set of one- or two-locus genotypic fitnesses there are alternative sets, usually frequency-dependent and often with quite different biological meanings, that give rise to the same equations for change of allele or haplotype frequencies. Therefore, it is not possible to distinguish among a...
