Within-patch population dynamics partly result from sorting of genotypes over time

Evidence

This relationship between heterozygosity and life history in a wide variety of taxa suggests that a significant cause of the pattern of within-patch dynamics in some populations is a sorting out of genotypes over time as well as differential growth and reproduction among the remaining genotypes. — S.
