Abstract
The fate of advantageous alleles affecting intrinsic growth rate, carrying capacity or intra-specific competitive ability was examined in a partially inbreeding population. Generally, inbreeding had an effect on the evolution of advantageous alleles affecting population ecological characteristics. For example, in a specific underdominant case the number of stable internal equilibria decreased from two to one with only a slight degree of inbreeding. Equilibrium frequencies of stable internal equilibria and stability of fixation equilibria were also affected by the degree of inbreeding. For strictly advantageous alleles, inbreeding had the same qualitative effect on the fixation probability and mean fixation time as predicted in simpler selection models.
