Resource-dependent selection.
This paper presents a resource-dependent viability selection differential equation model of continuously reproducing diploid population with two alleles at one locus for a single limiting resource. This model assumes that the genotypic fitness is only a function of the limiting resource. The conditions that the interior equilibrium point of the system exists are that the heterozygote fitness is positive and the homozygote fitness is negative, or the heterozygote fitness is negative and the homozygote fitness is positive at the point. The sufficient and necessary conditions of locally asymptotical stability of the interior equilibrium point are that the heterozygote fitness is positive at the point, or the locally asymptotically stable equilibrium corresponds to the point at which the level of the limiting resource is locally minimized on the zero mean fitness curve, f = 0.
