Frequency-dependent Selection Innovations

Although mutation is the closing source of genetic variation in populations, mechanisms that act to keep this variant, as soon as it has arisen, stay uncertain. The upkeep of genetic variant in obligate asexual organisms gives an introduced conundrum. Selection on clones is especially efficient as it acts at the extent of both the person and the clone, and reproductively desired clones should, therefore, rapidly take away clones with lower fitness, main to the erosion of genetic diversity. Nevertheless, clonal variety in obligate asexual organisms is regularly high, letting them evolve in reaction to a changing environment. How is this clonal range maintained in asexual organisms? Negative frequency-dependent selection - wherein a genotype's fitness increases because it turns into exceedingly rare - is concept to help hold version at some loci in natural populations of sexual species. Yet, evidence for this phenomenon relies totally on laboratory experiments, because direct evidence for frequency-dependent selection in nature is scarce. Frequency-dependent selection has no longer been considered in asexual organisms where selection operates on clonal variation in place of on version at particular loci.
