✦ Synopsis

Computer simulation was used to relax assumptions of analytical life-cycle theory about the eventual outcome of evolution in a constant environment. The computer simulation models, of diploid one-locus genetic systems, are described in detail. Good agreement was obtained between the analytical and simulation outcomes, except in some cases of discrepancy between the male and female life cycles.

Analytical and computer models were used to reexamine bet-hedging, the reduction in fecundity that is evolutionarily advantageous in conditions of greater variation in juvenile survivorship or less variation in adult survivorship. The computer simulation models represent diploid one-locus genetic sy
