Summary

This study uses deterministic two‐locus and multilocus models to show that the presence of deleterious mutations in the gene pool results in indirect selection favoring habitat fidelity or habitat preference over accepted habitats, which leads to the evolution of largely genetically isolated populations that use different habitats.
