Fitness patterns and phenotypic plasticity in a spatially heterogeneous environment.

Genetical research - 1 Dec 1996

Zhivotovsky L A, Feldman M W, Bergman A

Abstract excerpt

We analyse patterns of the means and variances of genotypic fitnesses across different niches in a randomly mating haploid population. The population inhabits a spatially heterogeneous environment where it is subject to mutation and weak multilocus additive selection, with different election coefficients in different niches. Approximate analytical expressions are derived for the stationary mean and variance of...
