Seasonally fluctuating selection can maintain polymorphism at many loci via segregation lift.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 14 Nov 2017

Abstract excerpt

Most natural populations are affected by seasonal changes in temperature, rainfall, or resource availability. Seasonally fluctuating selection could potentially make a large contribution to maintaining genetic polymorphism in populations. However, previous theory suggests that the conditions for multilocus polymorphism are restrictive. Here, we explore a more general class of models with multilocus seasonally...
