Abstract: In this note, we characterize the solution of a system of elliptic integro-differential equations describing a phe-notypically structured population subject to mutation, selection and migration. Generalizing an approach based on Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we identify the dominant terms of the solution when the mutation term is small (but nonzero). This method was initially used, for different problems from evolutionary biology, to identify the asymptotic solutions, while the mutations vanish, as a sum of Dirac masses. A key point is a uniqueness property related to the weak KAM theory. This method allows to go further than the Gaussian approximation commonly used by biologists and is an attempt to fill the gap between the theories of adaptive dynamics and quantitative genetics.
