TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Evolutionary suicide in a discrete-time metapopulation model JO - Evolutionary Ecology Research A1 - Parvinen, K. SP - 619 EP - 633 VL - 9 IS - 4 N2 - Question: Can the Allee effect promote evolutionary suicide by dispersal evolution in a discrete-time metapopulation model? Mathematical methods: Adaptive dynamics. Features of model: Metapopulation consisting of infinitely many patches. Local dynamics, dispersal, and catastrophe events defined in discrete time.

RESULTS: Fitness-based calculations show that evolutionary suicide can happen in the model. Evolutionary simulations support the result. After evolutionary branching, dimorphic evolutionary suicide does not occur. © 2007 Kalle Parvinen.
