Asynchronous abundance fluctuations can drive giant genotype frequency fluctuations.

Abstract excerpt

Large stochastic population abundance fluctuations are ubiquitous across the tree of life, impacting the predictability and outcomes of population dynamics. It is generally thought that abundance fluctuations with a Taylor's law exponent of two do not strongly impact evolution. However, we argue that such abundance fluctuations can lead to substantial genotype frequency fluctuations if different genotypes in a...
