Abstract

The possibility that iteroparity may be an evolutionary response to uncertain survival from zygote to first maturity is examined in a competition model and a genetic model. The competition model used is an alternative to the logistic model and is based on the Ricker formulation of population growth. The genetic model is a straightforward two-allele system. Both models show clear advantage in iteroparity if there is uncertainty from zygote to first maturity. Illustrative material on marine plankton-feeding fishes suggests the modeling is realistic. Consideration of other evidence suggests the approach may contribute to understanding the dynamics of evolution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
