Central Equilibria in Multilocus Systems. I. Generalized Nonepistatic Selection Regimes
AUTOR(ES)
Karlin, Samuel
RESUMO
The generalized nonepistatic selection regime encompasses combinations of multiplicative and neutral viability effects distributed across a set of loci. These subsume, in particular, mixtures of the classical modes of multiplicative and additive fitness evaluations for multilocus traits. Exact analytic conditions for existence and stability of a multilocus Hardy-Weinberg (H-W) polymorphic equilibrium configuration are ascertained. It is established that the central H-W polymorphism is stable only if the component loci are "over-dominant" and sufficient recombination is in force. The H-W central equilibrium is never stable for tight linkage whenever some multiplicative selection effects are contributed by at least two of the loci involved. In the case of additive selection expression and individual overdominant loci, the H-W polymorphism is stable independently of the level of recombination. In the context of "natural" recombination schemes, "more recombination" enhances the stability of the H-W polymorphic equilibrium.
