Is evolvability involved in the origin of modular variation?

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2003

Gardner Andy, Zuidema Willem

Abstract excerpt

Lipson et al. (2002) presented an elegant linear algebraic formalism to define and study the evolution of modularity in an artificial evolving system. They employed simulation data to support their suggestion that modularity arises spontaneously in temporally fluctuating systems in response to selection for enhanced evolvability. We show analytically and by simulation that their correlate of modularity is itself...
