THE EVOLUTION OF SOCIAL INTERACTIONS CHANGES PREDICTIONS ABOUT INTERACTING PHENOTYPES

摘要: In many traits involved in social interactions, such as courtship and aggression, the phenotype is an outcome of interactions between individuals. Such whose expression individual partly determined by its partner are called "interacting phenotypes." Quantitative genetic models suggested that interacting phenotypes can evolve much faster than nonsocial traits. Current models, however, consider interaction partners a fixed phenotypic response rule, represented coefficient (ψ). Here, we extend existing theoretical incorporate trait evolve. We find evolution change qualitatively predictions about rate direction phenotypes. argue it crucial to determine whether how make accurate interactions. Language: en
