Density-dependent selection migration model with non-monotone fitness functions (Q688472)

First, the authors analyse an ODE density-dependent selection model for a diallelic single locus population with fitnesses being one-hump functions of total population size (thus allowing for Allee effects). They study the geometry of nullclines and the solutions' asymptotic behavior. Next, they complicate the model by allowing one-dimensional spatial diffusion with constant rate \(\underline{d}\). Under certain assumptions, the solution of the corresponding system of reaction-diffusion equations under zero von Neumann boundary conditions is global and unique and it is shown to converge to a spatially constant stable equilibrium if the initial data is sufficiently ``close'' to it. These results for spatial diffusion use the geometry of the zero diffusion model and a theorem of \textit{P. N. Brown} [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 38, 22-37 (1980; Zbl 0511.92019)]. Results of a local nature are also obtained for arbitrary genotype fitness functions when \(\underline{d}\) is large.
