Multilocus evolutionarily stable strategy models: additive effects

Abstract:
A common reservation about Evolutionarily Stable Strategy analyses is that they fail to account explicitly for Mendelian genetics, and therefore may produce biologically unfeasible predictions. This note shows that Evolutionarily Stable Strategy and multilocus genetic analyses agree for one simple model of frequency-dependent selection under the assumption that the effects of alleles and loci are completely additive. A numeric example illustrated the concepts and results involved.
