Mutation, Sexual Reproduction and Survival in Dynamic Environments
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Using this machinery, we study the role of mutation in changing environments in the presence of sexual reproduction. ...
Finally, we also show that in static environments, sexual evolution with mutation converges, for any level of mutation. ...
In this paper we study the next natural question, namely the role of mutation in the presence of sexual reproduction. ...

Simulated emergence of cyclic sexual–asexual reproduction
2001
Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications
The reproductive regime of each female is also seasonal in principle and genetically acquired, and can mutate for each newborn with some small probability. ...
The results show a sharp transition at a critical value of the survival probability in the winter, between a reproductive regime in the fall that is predominantly sexual, for low values of this probability ...

EVOLUTION OF POPULATION WITH SEXUAL AND ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION IN CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
2004
International Journal of Modern Physics C
However, in order to obtain a greater chance to mate, the birth rate should be high. In the case of low birth rate and high mutation probability there is a preference for the asexual reproduction. ...
Evolutions of populations following two reproduction patterns are compared, asexual and sexual. ...
Evolution of population with sexual and asexual reproduction in changing environment For the evolution of a population the vital question is its chances of survival in a given environment. ...

Population dynamics with a mixed type of sexual and asexual reproduction in a fluctuating environment
2012
BMC Evolutionary Biology
We investigate the dynamics of two sympatric populations with sexual and asexual reproduction in a periodically fluctuating environment. ...
Conclusions: In this paper we addressed the advantages of a mixed type of sexual and asexual reproduction in a changing environment and explored the idea that a species that is able to adapt itself to ...
Conclusions In this paper we use an individual based computational model for studying the dynamics of populations with a mixed type of reproduction, sexual and asexual, in a fluctuating environment. ...

Evolution, ageing and speciation: Monte Carlo simulations of biological systems
2004
Brazilian journal of physics
Particularly, we show how a phenotype was included into the model in order to study speciation and correlated problems. ...
We present a complete description of the Penna bit-string model for biological ageing and how it has been modified, along the last 10 years, to simulate and better understand many different evolutionary ...
In this way, if an asexual and a sexual population coevolve in the same environment, disputing for the same resources (Verhulst factor), the asexual population dominates and the sexual one disappears. ...

Analysis of Sexual vs Asexual Reproduction Using Four Measurements
[article]
2022
bioRxiv
pre-print
We also show that DFM is bounded in sexual reproduction and OPM is inversely related to DFM. Thus, sexual reproduction leads to smaller DFM and hence a larger OPM. ...
We define and derive four measurements, diversity measure DVM, diffusion measure DFM, optimality measure OPM, and survivability measure SVM to compare sexual reproduction with asexual reproduction. ...
We derive dynamic equations of DV M for both asexual reproduction and sexual reproduction. ...

PARASITIC INFESTATION AND CHOICE OF REPRODUCTIVE REGIMES
2010
International Journal of Modern Physics C
With a small probability, a newborn from the sexual population mutates into an asexual one and vice versa. Then, the asexual population rapidly dominates the sexual one, which all but disappears. ...
The Penna model is used to simulate the competition between an asexual parthenogenetic and asexual population inhabiting the same environment represented by a square lattice. ...
