A model for conditional male trimorphisms.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Apr 2017

Mark Rowland J, Qualls Clifford R, Buzatto Bruno A

Abstract excerpt

Conditional dimorphisms are widespread in color, morphology, behavior, and life history. Such traits have been successfully modeled in game theory as conditional strategies, and in quantitative genetics as threshold traits. Conditional trimorphisms have recently been unveiled, and here we combine the rock-paper-scissors (RPS) model of game theory and the environmental threshold (ET) model of quantitative genetics...
