How phenotypic variation and life history trait correlation enhance mean fitness in prey populations.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Aug 1998

Hartt L, Haefner J W

Abstract excerpt

The relative effects of phenotypic variation and trait correlations on mean population fitness are poorly understood. Moreover, when fitness is evaluated in the context of ecological processes such as predation, theoretical development is lacking. To address this deficiency, we simulate a predato...
