Maladaptation as a source of senescence in habitats variable in space and time.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2014

Cotto Olivier, Ronce Ophélie

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we use a quantitative genetics model of structured populations to investigate the evolution of senescence in a variable environment. Adaptation to local environments depends on phenotypic traits whose optimal values vary with age and with environmental conditions. We study different scenarios of environmental heterogeneity, where the environment changes abruptly, gradually, or cyclically with time...
