Environmental fluctuations and the maintenance of genetic diversity in age or stage-structured populations.

Bulletin of mathematical biology - 1 Jan 1996

Ellner S

Abstract excerpt

The ability of random fluctuations in selection to maintain genetic diversity is greatly increased when generations overlap. This result has been derived previously using genetic models with very special assumptions about the population age structure. Here we explore its robustness in more realistic population models, with very general age structure or physiological structure. For a range of genetic models...
