Popis: We present a reaction–diffusion mathematical model for the evolutionary dynamics of phenotypic evolution. A detailed deduction of the equations is presented for the one-dimensional version, from which a more general model is proposed. Particular cases are studied using analytical approximations and numerical simulations. Results indicate that the approach proposed produces results that are coherent with mainstream models in evolutionary dynamics, suggesting that the reaction–diffusion model could be an alternative tool in the analysis of evolutionary dynamics.
