    This study explores how allele frequency and population density dynamics are affected by frequency-dependent fitness in diploid populations. Introducing frequency dependence can lead to periodic fluctuations not seen in purely density-dependent models.

    Area of Science:

    • Population Genetics
    • Mathematical Biology
    • Ecology

    Background:

    • Population dynamics are often modeled using logistic growth.
    • Allele frequencies change over time due to evolutionary forces.
    • Density-dependent factors influence population growth rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of frequency-dependent fitness on population dynamics.
    • To analyze models with both density and frequency dependence.
    • To contrast these models with purely density-dependent scenarios.

    Main Methods:

    • Modification of the logistic growth model.
    • Inclusion of three distinct types of frequency dependence in fitness functions.
    • Analysis and comparison of different model scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstration of periodic fluctuations in allele frequency.
    • Observation of periodic fluctuations in population density.
    • Identification of dynamics unique to frequency-dependent models.

    Conclusions:

    • Frequency-dependent fitness introduces complex dynamics absent in density-dependent models.
    • Allele frequency and population density can exhibit coupled periodic fluctuations.
    • The study highlights the importance of considering frequency dependence in population genetics models.
