Allele-Frequency Change in a Class-Structured Population
Abstract
Suppose that in a population with a class structure, we wish to calculate the change in frequency of an allele under the action of selection. If the allele affects the behavior of individuals in different classes differently and if parents of different classes have different class distributions of offspring, then the allele frequencies in different classes may be different, and any overall calculation of allele-frequency change must decide how to weight the different class frequencies. I show that the correct weights to use are the class reproductive values, and, using these, I formulate a covariance equation for allele-frequency change. This equation also provides the classical inclusive-fitness formulation if benefits (increased numbers of offspring) are calculated by weighting each offspring by the individual reproductive value that pertains to his class.

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.
