A class of Lyapunov functions is used to demonstrate that strategy stability occurs in complex randomly mating diploid populations. Strategies close to the evolutionarily stable strategy tend to fare better than more remote strategies. If convergence in mean strategy to an evolutionarily stable strategy is not possible, evolution will continue until all strategies in use lie on a unique face of the convex hull of available strategies. The results obtained are also relevant to the haploid parthenogenetic case.

This work studies the long-term effects of mutation and selection pressures on a diploid population embracing many genetic types. A number of results previously established for the simpler asexual case (see [4]) are extended to the cases of random mating and complete inbreeding (Theorem 1), and then, under particular conditions, to certain circumstances of mixed random mating and inbreeding (Theorem 3 and Corollary 1). Several implications for sex and diploidity are drawn from Theorem 2 and its corollaries. Further biological interpretations of these findings, especially of Theorem 2, are given in [3].

In order to determine the robustness of the mean-covariance approach to exploring behavioural models of sexual diploid biological populations which are based on the evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) concept, a companion paper explored relevant features of the probability simplex of allelic frequencies for a population which is genetically homogeneous except possibly at a single locus.The Shahshahani metric is modified in this paper to produce a measure of distance near an arbitrary frequency F in the allelic simplex which can be used when some alleles are given zero weight by F. The equation of evolution for the modified metric can then be used to show that certain sets of frequencies (corresponding to equilibrium mean strategies) act as local attractors, as long as the mean strategies corresponding to those sets are non-singular or even, in most cases, singular. We identify conditions under which the measure of distance from an initial frequency to a nearby set of equilibrium frequencies corresponding to exceptional mean strategies might increase, either temporarily or for a protracted length of time.

The evolutionarily stable strategy for a given payoff matrix contest, although originally determined in terms of a haploid population, has been shown elsewhere to correspond to an equilibrium of the mean strategy of a diploid population. In this note, the equilibrium is shown to be locally stable for diploid populations. This local stability is demonstrated primarily by relating the behaviour of the perturbed diploid population to one, or in some cases two, associated haploid populations.

Stylidium elongatum Benth. (n = 13, 26) and Stylidium crassifolium R. Br. (n = 14, 28) have been restored to specific status and a morphologically intermediate species, Stylidium confluens sp. nov. (n = 14), is described. Polyploid entities in the complex have not been given taxonomic ranks although the tetraploid form of elongatum may be considered worthy of subspecific rank, as it is ecologically distinct and contiguously allopatric to its progenitor and to confluens, forming a buffer between these two diploid entities. Tetraploid populations in crassifolium occur within the distributional range of the diploid. All three species carry recessive lethal gene arrays which eliminate the products of self-pollination with great efficiency and result in crosses between close populations yielding seed more effectively than crosses within populations. There is evidence that interpopulational coadaptation may break down with increasing distance between populations. Polyploidy in crassifolium is probably a conservative response in the genetic system of a species where concentrations of lethal genes in small diploid populations became disadvantageous.

The most widely recognized mode of polyploid formation in homosporous ferns is allopolyploidy. There are taxa, however, that appear to have arisen through autopolyploidy. Several widely separated collections of the normally diploid species Cystopteris protrusa were found to be triploid. Plants in these collections were morphologically similar to typical, diploid C. protrusa, exhibited a significant number of trivalents during meiosis, and corresponded allozymically to heterozygotes from diploid populations. These plants probably arose through outcrossing between normal, haploid gametes and unreduced, diploid gametes. It is hypothesized that this mechanism of autopolyploid formation is stimulated by environmental stress and may be an intermediate stage in the formation of sexually reproductive tetraploids.
