    Area of Science:

    • Population Genetics
    • Mathematical Biology
    • Evolutionary Dynamics

    Background:

    • Species life cycles involve distinct reproduction and growth phases.
    • Genetic variation influences fecundity and offspring viability.
    • Population size can affect mortality rates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a mathematical model for species life cycles with genotype-dependent selection and density-dependent mortality.
    • To explore the population dynamics resulting from these factors.
    • To investigate the conditions leading to stable equilibria or cycles.

    Main Methods:

    • Modeling a two-phase life cycle: reproduction (random mating, selection) and growing-up (deterministic death).
    • Incorporating genotype-specific fecundity and offspring viability.
    • Implementing continuous-time death processes with linearly increasing death rates based on population size.

    Main Results:

    • The model reproduces logistic population regulation in the absence of genotype differences.
    • Genotype differences introduce generalized selection patterns beyond typical separate generations models.
    • The model demonstrates scenarios with three polymorphic equilibria or stable population cycles.

    Conclusions:

    • The interplay between genetic selection and density-dependent mortality can generate complex evolutionary dynamics.
    • The model provides a framework for understanding how life-cycle structure influences population stability and genetic diversity.
    • Further research can explore specific genetic architectures and environmental factors within this framework.
