This study introduces a selection-mutation model. It reveals that while deterministic models predict coexistence or exclusion, stochastic models show unpredictable outcomes in pure selection scenarios with small growth differences.

Area of Science:

  • Population genetics
  • Mathematical biology
  • Evolutionary dynamics

Background:

  • Traditional models often predict competitive exclusion or stable coexistence.
  • Understanding the interplay between selection and mutation is crucial for evolutionary dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate population dynamics under selection and mutation using deterministic and stochastic models.
  • To analyze conditions leading to competitive exclusion versus coexistence.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a deterministic selection-mutation model with a discrete trait.
  • Constructed a stochastic population model based on the deterministic framework.
  • Performed numerical simulations to compare model behaviors.

Main Results:

  • Deterministic models with irreducible selection-mutation matrices ensure stable coexistence.
  • Reducible matrices allow for either competitive exclusion or coexistence.
  • Stochastic models generally mirror deterministic mean behavior, but introduce unpredictability in pure selection cases with small growth-to-mortality ratio differences.

Conclusions:

  • Selection-mutation dynamics can lead to diverse evolutionary outcomes.
  • Stochasticity plays a significant role, especially when selective pressures are similar, challenging a priori predictions of survival.
