Selection for sex in finite populations.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2014

Roze D

Abstract excerpt

Finite population size generates interference between selected loci, which has been shown to favour increased rates of recombination. In this article, I present different analytical models exploring selection acting on a 'sex modifier locus' (that affects the relative investment into asexual and sexual reproduction) in a finite population. Two forms of selective forces act on the modifier: direct selection due to...
