Relationship between measures of fitness and time scale in evolution.

Physical review letters - 3 Jun 2002

Rauch E M, Sayama H, Bar-Yam Y

Abstract excerpt

The notion of fitness is central in evolutionary biology. We use a simple spatially extended predator-prey or host-pathogen model to show a generic case where the average number of offspring of an individual as a measure of fitness fails to characterize the evolutionary dynamics. Mutants with high initial reproduction ratios have lineages that eventually go extinct due to local overexploitation. We propose...
