چکیده

In this paper, a sex-dependent matrix game haploid model is investigated. For this model, since the phenotypes of female and male individuals are determined by alleles located at a single locus and are sex dependent, any given genotype corresponds to a strategy pair. Thus, a strategy pair is an ESS if and only if the allele corresponding to this strategy pair cannot be invaded by any mutant allele. We show that an ESS equilibrium must be locally asymptotically stable if it exists.

Evolutionarily stable sex ratios and mutation load.

Frequency-dependent selection should drive dioecious populations toward a 1:1 sex ratio, but biased sex ratios are widespread, especially among plants with sex chromosomes. Here, we develop population genetic models to investigate the relationships between evolutionarily stable sex ratios, haploid selection, and deleterious mutation load. We confirm that when haploid selection acts only on the ...

The status of the conditional evolutionarily stable strategy.

The conditional evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) has proven to be a versatile tool for understanding the production of alternative phenotypes in response to environmental cues. Hence, we would expect the theoretical basis of the conditional strategy to be robust. However, Shuster and Wade have recently criticized the conditional ESS based on Gross's 1996 proposal that most alternative repro...

Evolutionary stability in strategic models of single-locus frequency-dependent viability selection

The dynamic stability of an evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) is analyzed for a diploid species under individual viability selection. An individual’s viability depends on the genotypic frequencies at a single autosomal locus through a payoff matrix determined by phenotypic behaviours (i.e. strategies). It is shown that an ESS of this payoff matrix is dynamically stable if there are at most t...

Random and non-random mating populations: Evolutionary dynamics in meiotic drive.

Game theoretic tools are utilized to analyze a one-locus continuous selection model of sex-specific meiotic drive by considering nonequivalence of the viabilities of reciprocal heterozygotes that might be noticed at an imprinted locus. The model draws attention to the role of viability selections of different types to examine the stable nature of polymorphic equilibrium. A bridge between popula...

Hierarchical selection theory and sex ratios. I. General solutions for structured populations.

Models of sex-ratio evolution in structured populations are derived with G.R. Price's covariance form for the hierarchical analysis of natural selection (1970, Nature 227, 520-521). Previous work on competition among related males for mates (local mate competition), competition among related females for a limiting resource (local resource competition), inbreeding, group selection, and asymmetry...
