A Very Simple Model for Declining Mean Fitness

M. Norman ()

Journal of Bioeconomics, 2005, vol. 7, issue 2, 157-160

Abstract: We describe a large-population one-locus, two-allele model that, for certain values of viability and fertility selection parameters, displays a substantial monotonic decline in population mean fitness, concurrent with complete replacement of the allele associated with higher fitness by the allele associated with lower fitness.
