Abstract

Hard and soft selection are compared in a population subdivided into random mating subpopulations. The possibility for protected polymorphism is greater with soft than with hard selection. Protected polymorphism is more readily achieved with increasing isolation, an effect that is more pronounced with hard selection. The results are discussed in relation to selection components.
