Coevolutionary chase in two-species systems with applications to mimicry.
Journal of Theoretical Biology 1998 April 22
We study a general dynamical model describing coevolution of two haploid populations with two alleles at a single locus under weak linear symmetric frequency-dependent selection. A novel and more realistic element of our modeling approach is that both species are allowed to evolve. We analyse conditions for "evolutionary chase" between two phenotypically similar species in which one species evolves to decrease its resemblance with the other species while this other species evolves to increase its resemblance with the first species. We apply our results to a series of simple population genetics models describing classical Müllerian and Batesian mimicries as well as intermediate cases. We show that one of the most important factors influencing the plausibility of non-equilibrium dynamics in systems of mimicry is the relationship between the strength of between-species and within-species interactions. This indicates that this relationship should be the focus of both experimental and theoretical work. Our results suggest that systematic studies of frequencies of different mimicry morphs through time may be very useful.
