Invasion and maintenance of alleles that influence mating and parental success.

Abstract excerpt

Here we develop a model of the invasion, polymorphism, fixation and extinction analysis of genes that differentially influence the mating and parenting success of the two sexes. The model could have application, for example, to the maintenance of homosexuality in diploid populations. The analysis focuses on systems in which mating success is density-dependent and contrasts the results with the density-independent...
