Fundamental theorem of natural selection and frequency-dependent selection: analysis of the matrix game diploid model.
Following Ewens' interpretation about Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection, the matrix game model for diploid populations undergoing non-overlapping, discrete generations is investigated. The total genetic variance is decomposed and it is shown that the partial change in the mean fitness, which is equal to the additive genetic variance over the mean fitness, can be thought of as a change due only to the partial changes in the phenotypic frequencies.
