Population genetic perspectives on the evolution of recombination.

Annual review of genetics - 1 Jan 1996

Feldman M W, Otto S P, Christiansen F B

Abstract excerpt

Optimality arguments and modifier theory are reviewed as paradigms for the study of the evolution of recombination. Optimality criteria (such as maximization of mean fitness) may agree with results from models developed in terms of the evolution of recombination at modifier loci. Modifier models demonstrate, however, that equilibrium mean fitness can decrease during the evolution of recombination rates and is not...
