abstract="Question: How does the mechanistic underpinning of a discrete-time model affect the possibility for evolutionary suicide? Mathematical methods: Adaptive dynamics. Relevant theory on attractor families and bifurcations. Features of model: A discrete-time population model derived from a continuous-time resource-consumer model with processes of harvesting resource, mate finding, and egg production. <br><br>RESULTS: A population-level multiplicative parameter is affected both by the probability of egg survival and harvest effort. Higher survival probability is selected for, which can result in a period-doubling cascade to chaos, and in evolutionary suicide through a global bifurcation. Also, higher harvest effort is selected for, but it becomes a scaling factor for the model without qualitatively affecting its dynamics, and demographically stochastic extinction occurs. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Evolutionary predictions should be based on individual-level traits. © 2016 Kalle Parvinen.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
