Evolution of quantitative traits: Exploring the ecological, social and genetic bases of adaptive polymorphism.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Oct 2026

Lehmann Laurent, Mullon Charles

Abstract excerpt

Adaptive polymorphisms in quantitative traits are characterised by the coexistence of distinct genetically encoded phenotypes maintained by selection. Such intraspecific genetic and phenotypic variation makes a substantial contribution to biological diversity. Building on established results from invasion analysis, we analyse conditions under which adaptive polymorphism can emerge under long-term gradual...
