Population genetics reveals that overdominance viability selection leads to a unique equilibrium. Under haploid or submultiplicative diploid selection, a stable equilibrium, either monomorphic or polymorphic, is guaranteed across diverse migration patterns.

Area of Science:

  • Population Genetics
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Mathematical Biology

Background:

  • Population subdivision and varying selection pressures across habitats are key factors in evolutionary dynamics.
  • Overdominance viability selection, where heterozygotes have higher fitness, can maintain genetic diversity.
  • Understanding the stability of equilibria is crucial for predicting evolutionary trajectories.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To posit and prove principles governing population equilibria under specific selection regimes.
  • To demonstrate the existence of unique, globally attracting equilibria in subdivided populations.
  • To explore the implications of different viability selection models on population stability.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical modeling of population genetics.

  • Analysis of selection and migration dynamics in subdivided populations.
  • Proof of principles for haploid and diploid selection models, including submultiplicative viability.

    • Main Results:

    • A unique, globally attracting polymorphic equilibrium is posited for populations under overdominance viability selection in each habitat.
    • A unique, globally attracting stable equilibrium (monomorphic or polymorphic) is proven for haploid or submultiplicative diploid selection.
    • Multiple fixation states are shown to be simultaneously unstable under submultiplicative viability regimes across various migration patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Submultiplicative viability selection ensures a single, stable evolutionary outcome, preventing multiple co-existing stable states.
    • The study provides a robust theoretical framework for understanding population stability under diverse genetic and environmental conditions.
    • Contrasting examples highlight the importance of specific viability conditions in determining evolutionary stability.
