How to recast effects of habitat shrinking and global warming on evolutionary dynamics into continuous mutation/selection models? Bearing this question in mind, we consider differential equations for structured populations, which include mutations, proliferation and competition for resources. Since mutations are assumed to be small, a parameter epsilon is introduced to model the average size of phenotypic changes. A well-posedness result is proposed and the asymptotic behavior of the density of individuals is studied in the limit epsilon -> 0. In particular, we prove the weak convergence of the density to a sum of Dirac masses and characterize the related concentration points. Moreover, we provide numerical simulations illustrating the theorems and showing an interesting sample of solutions depending on parameters and initial data.
