A stochastic version of the Price equation reveals the interplay of deterministic and stochastic processes in evolution.

BMC evolutionary biology - 25 Sept 2008

Rice Sean H

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evolution involves both deterministic and random processes, both of which are known to contribute to directional evolutionary change. A number of studies have shown that when fitness is treated as a random variable, meaning that each individual has a distribution of possible fitness v...
