When Does Frequency-Independent Selection Maintain Genetic Variation?

Genetics - 1 Oct 2017

Novak Sebastian, Barton Nicholas H

Abstract excerpt

Frequency-independent selection is generally considered as a force that acts to reduce the genetic variation in evolving populations, yet rigorous arguments for this idea are scarce. When selection fluctuates in time, it is unclear whether frequency-independent selection may maintain genetic polymorphism without invoking additional mechanisms. We show that constant frequency-independent selection with arbitrary...
