A quantitative genetic model of r- and K-selection in a fluctuating population.

The American naturalist - 1 Jun 2013

Engen Steinar, Lande Russell, Saether Bernt-Erik

Abstract excerpt

We analyze a stochastic quantitative genetic model for the joint dynamics of population size N and evolution of a multidimensional mean phenotype (z) under density-dependent selection. This generalizes our previous theories of evolution in fluctuating environments to include density-dependent (but frequency-independent) selection on quantitative characters. We assume that appropriate constraints or trade-offs...
