Hermaphroditic sex allocation with overlapping generations. (English) Zbl 0649.92016

Summary: This paper extends the theory of hermaphroditic sex allocation to overlapping generations for comparison with previous results on discrete generations [the author, Heredity 56, 119-121 (1986)]. It derives ESS results under exponential population growth and for a population held stable through density dependent juvenile recruitment. The results apply to temporally constant and temporally variable environments.
