Matsuda & Abrams (1994a, b) • Frequency dependent selection may decrease the population size and the population growth rate. • Therefore, self-extinction due to frequency-dependent selection is possible. • e.g., Timid herbivores (Matsuda & Abrams 1994, Theor. Pop. Biol. )
Tradeoff between antipredator effort and foraging time benthos (constant density R) plant (constant density R) flatfish (change in trait Ĉ & population size N) herbivore (change in trait Ĉ & population size N) fishery (constant density P) carnivore (constant density P)
Model I: Harbivore’s fitness W • W(C) = B(CR) - M(C,P) - d • Optimal foraging time • always decreases as predator increases;
Optimal foraging time • I = ĈR: Foraging intake rate I= (individual’s foraging time)(plant density), • B = ĈR/(1 + bĈR)Benefit B from intake saturates with intake, • Risk M of predation (type II functional response)M = ĈP / (1 + hCN) • C is population mean trait valueh: handling time
Population & evolutionary dynamics • Equilibrium population • N* = Ns (stable level) • N* = Nu (unstable critical level) • N* = 0 (extinct)

We should take account of adaptation in managing endangered species. • Does evolutionary response of species always increase its population size? • No • “the fish may become poorer foragers as the result of fishing, and that this may result in extinction, or at least contribute to reducing their population size.” (Matsuda & Abrams 1994b)
