How does male–male competition generate negative frequency-dependent selection and disruptive selection during speciation?
Natural selection has been shown to drive population differentiation and speciation. The role of sexual selection in this process is controversial; however, most of the work has centered on mate choice while the role of male-male competition in speciation is relatively understudied. Here, we outline how male-male competition can be a source of diversifying selection on male competitive phenotyp...
متن کاملNegative Selection: How to Generate Detectors
The immune system is a remarkable and complex natural system, which has been shown to be of interest to computer scientists and engineers alike. This paper reports an on-going investigation into the usefulness of the negative selection metaphor for immune inspired fault tolerance. Various procedures to generate detectors for the negative selection algorithm are reviewed and compared in terms of...
متن کاملHandedness, homicide and negative frequency-dependent selection.
Humans exhibit hand preference for most manual activities in which they are specialized. Right- and left-handers have coexisted at least since the Upper Palaeolithic, and left-handers are in the minority in all human populations. The persistence of the polymorphism of handedness is a puzzle because this trait is substantially heritable and several fitness costs are associated with left-handedne...
متن کاملNegative Frequency-Dependent Selection Is Frequently Confounding
Persistent genetic variation within populations presents an evolutionary problem, as natural selection and genetic drift tend to erode genetic diversity. Models of balancing selection were developed to account for the maintenance of genetic variation observed in natural populations. Negative frequency-dependent selection is a powerful type of balancing selection that maintains many natural poly...
متن کاملSexual Selection in the Water Spider: Female Choice and MaleMale Competition
When selection acts differently on the body size of males and females, their adult sizes may diverge. The resulting sexual size dimorphism (SSD) covers an astounding range across taxa, with extreme examples in both directions (see Fairbairn et al. 2007). Generally, in most sexually reproducing animals, females are the larger sex (Andersson 1994; Fairbairn et al. 2007), which is mainly explained...
