From: Phenotypic plasticity promotes recombination and gene clustering in periodic environments
Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
p | Plasticity effect—a constant that quantifies the amount of buffering of environmental effects due to the plasticity allele |
s max | The maximum environmental effect, occurring at a peak season in those individuals who do not carry the plasticity allele |
C | The number of discrete generations in one oscillating cycle of periodic environmental change |
M | The plasticity-conferring allele at the modifier locus, as opposed to the non-plastic m allele |
r 1, r 2 | Recombination rates associated with the two alleles at the recombination modifier locus, which determines the recombination rate between the plasticity modifier locus and the target locus |
R | Recombination rate between the recombination modifier locus and the plasticity–target sequence |
r′ | Recombination rate between two target loci |
r* | The ES recombination rate, a recombination rate that cannot be displaced by any other rate in a given selection regime |
