Evolution of longevity, age at last birth and sexual conflict with grandmothering.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Mar 2016

Chan Matthew H, Hawkes Kristen, Kim Peter S

Abstract excerpt

We use a two-sex partial differential equation (PDE) model based on the Grandmother hypothesis. We build on an earlier model by Kim et al. (2014) by allowing for evolution in both longevity and age at last birth, and also assuming that post-fertile females support only their daughters' fertility. Similarly to Kim et al. (2014), we find that only two locally stable equilibria exist: one corresponding to great...
