Abstract
The result of compensation in family size has been investigated, both for the case of selection against a dominant and recessive. In both cases a stable equilibrium may result. The range of values of compensation and selection for which equilibria do result has been shown. The methods developed are used to estimate the strength of selection in the specific case of acholuric jaundice.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
