Biological fitness and the Price Equation in class-structured populations.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 May 2015

Grafen Alan

Abstract excerpt

Price׳s extended covariance selection mathematics is applied to class-structured populations with additional assumptions, to derive the 'genetic Price Equation with class structure'. Each individual belongs to a class, and there may be overlapping generations; the equation is genetic because the trait is restricted to an arbitrary weighted sum of allele frequencies. Two special cases are then considered, a...
