Web frequency‐dependent (fd) selection—in which the fitness of a genotype or phenotype depends on its frequency within the population (lande, 1976 )—is an important and widely recognized process in evolutionary biology, first described by early mathematical population geneticists in the field, particularly sewall wright and. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness. There is a wealth of experimental evidence. 1 | cultur v y. Fd selection has attracted interest from researchers in a wide range of biological subdisciplines, including evolutionary genetics, behavioural ecology and, more recently, community ecology.

Yet the term is used to refer to different types of selection. Frequency dependence may be positive (in favor of the common type) or negative (in favor of the rare type). This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness. This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness.

This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness. Yet the term is used to refer to different types of selection. Web frequency‐dependent selection occurs when the fitness of a genotype depends on whether it is rare or common, that is, an individual's fitness is affected by allele or genotype frequencies of other individuals in the same population.

This type of selection can either be positive—with more common phenotypes having higher fitness—or negative, with rarer phenotypes conferring increased fitness. Web frequency dependent selection occurs when the fitness of a genotype or phenotype in a population is related to its frequency in the population (ayala and campbell, 1974 ).
