Fisher's geometrical model of evolutionary adaptation--beyond spherical geometry.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Aug 2006

Waxman D

Abstract excerpt

Fisher's geometrical model of evolutionary adaptation has recently been used in a variety of contexts of interest to evolutionary biologists. The renewed interest in this model strongly motivates generalizations that make it a more realistic description of evolutionary adaptation. Previously, the distribution of mutant effects has, for analytical tractability, rather than biological realism, been taken as...
