The maintenance of single-locus polymorphism by maternal selection.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 19 Mar 2015

Spencer Hamish G, Chiew Kai X

Abstract excerpt

Population geneticists have long been interested in the ability of natural selection to maintain the levels of standing variation observed in natural populations. Here, we study the polymorphism-maintaining properties of maternal selection, in which the fitness of an individual is a function of its own and its mother's genotype. Using a model proposed by Gavrilets, we first estimate the proportion of...
