Bards are recessive for ancestral allele BARD. Parameter s ≥ 0 is the selective advantage of two poets communicating with one another, and 0 ≤ c ≤ 1/s is the relative penalty of cross communication. The strength of cliquing behavior is represented by 0 ≤ f ≤ 1. The alleles POET and BARD have frequencies p and q = 1 − p in the population, respectively
