Emergence of long-term balanced polymorphism under cyclic selection of spatially variable magnitude.

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental question in evolutionary biology is what promotes genetic variation at nonneutral loci, a major precursor to adaptation in changing environments. In particular, balanced polymorphism under realistic evolutionary models of temporally varying environments in finite natural populations remains to be demonstrated. Here, we propose a novel mechanism of balancing selection under temporally varying...
