Preferential mating in symmetric multilocus systems

AUTOR(ES)

Raper, John

RESUMO

A class of multilocus models that incorporate both preferential mating and viability selection is studied. Symmetry in alleles is supposed, resulting in the phenotypes being dependent only on the location of heterozygous loci. Otherwise, an arbitrary number of loci, number of alleles per locus, and arbitrary recombination schemes, viability parameters, and preferential mating pattern are allowed. The conditions for stability of a central polymorphism, c*, are indicated and interpreted. Mating and viability parameters enter as one combined quantity for each phenotypic class, which represents a generalized fitness. The effect on stability of c* of increasing the number of alleles per locus and the number of loci requires the formulation to be set in terms of frequency-dependent preference parameters.
