Gene-culture coevolution under selection

Abstract: The joint evolutionary dynamics of phenotypes and genotypes are usually couched in terms of genetic variance contributions to changes in the phenotypic mean. Here, we study the evolution of a dichotomous phenotype whose transmission is controlled by one multi-allelic locus. The phenotype is under selection, which may be genotype-dependent. We answer classical population genetic questions about the phenogenotypic evolution, including the conditions for phenotypic and genotypic polymorphism, in terms of selection coefficients and rates of phenotypic transmission.
