Frequency-dependent selection is the term used for an evolutionary process in which the fitness of a phenotype depends on its frequency relative to other phenotypes in a given population. Frequency-dependent selection is mainly the resultant of species interactions such as predation, parasitism, or competition or between genotypes within species (usually competitive or symbiotic). Frequency-dependent selection can lead to polymorphic equilibria, which result from interactions among genotypes within species, in the same way that multi-species equilibria require interactions between species in competition. In positive frequency-dependent selection, the fitness of a phenotype increases as it becomes more common and in negative frequency-dependent selection, the fitness of a phenotype increases as it becomes rarer.
Online Journals are scholarly and peer reviewed journals. The journals provide forum and motivates scientists, researchers, academics, engineers, and practitioners in all aspects to share their professional and academic knowledge in the fields computing, engineering, humanities, economics, social sciences, management, medical science, and related disciplines. Online Journals also aims to reach a large number of readers worldwide with original and current research work completed on the vital issues of the above important disciplines. The journals permit all readers to read, view, download and print the full-text of all published articles without any subscription or restrictions.
