Marginal underdominance at a stable equilibrium

Alan Hastings 1
PMCID: PMC349080  PMID: 16593106

Abstract

An example is given of a stable equilibrium of a deterministic discrete-generation two-locus, two-allele, model at which marginal (or induced) underdominance holds. The example was found by using a numerical search procedure that involved picking random equilibria and finding possible fitnesses that would lead to those equilibria.

Keywords: two-locus model, induced underdominance, epistasis
