Abstract:
:In this paper, we consider an aspect of the intra-specific brood-parasitism with a mathematical modelling. As in case of moorhen Gallinula chloropus, the case dealt with in this paper in such that just a part of the whole population has the parasitising behaviour against the individuals belonging to another part of non-parasite subpopulation that does not have such behaviour. Analysing the expected fitness gain from the brood-parasitism, we consider the condition in order that parasite individuals coexist with non-parasite ones within a population. From the mathematical modelling analysis, it is shown that the stable equilibrium frequency of parasite individuals within a population, if exists, depends on the difference among individuals in terms of the individual quality reflected to the survival probability of bred offsprings.
