Abstract

The change of absolute deme frequencies in a discrete-time model of multiple, mutually genetically incompatible subpopulations (demes) which are still in mating contact has been studied. The attempt was made to answer the question of which initial conditions concerning deme frequencies lead to extinction or survival of certain demes. A complete answer could be given for the density-independent model and, with some restrictions, for a particular kind of density-dependent model assuming essentially complete niche overlap. For a more general model of density dependence, necessary initial conditions for deme extinction have been derived. Some implications for pest control have been briefly outlined.
