Distribution of individual fitness w for two bird species
The rate of increase in fitness of any organism at any time is equal to its genetic variance in fitness at that time
The rate of increase in fitness of any organism at any time is equal to its genetic variance in fitness at that time The rigour of its demonstration requires that the terms employed should be used stricktly as defined; the ease of its interpretation may be increased by appropriate conventions of measurement. For example, the ratio p:q should stricktly be evaluated at any instant by enumeration, not necessarily of the census population, but of all individuals having reproductive value, weighted according to the reproductive value of each.
The total reproductive value V of the population growth exactly exponential, and lnV has exactly linear growth. R. A. Fisher The age distribution approaches the stable age distribution
Age-structured population, no density regulation. (The total reproductive value serves as a filter) Population size Total reproductive value
