Polymorphism and the Red Queen: the selective maintenance of allelic variation in a deteriorating environment.

G3 (Bethesda, Md.) - 8 Jul 2024

Spencer Hamish G, Walter Callum B

Abstract excerpt

Although allelic variation is ubiquitous in natural populations, our theoretical models are poor at predicting the existence and properties of these observed polymorphisms. In this study, inspired by Van Valen's Red Queen hypothesis, we modeled the effect of viability selection in a deteriorating environment on the properties of allelic variation in populations subject to recurrent mutation. In Monte Carlo...
