The pace of evolution across fitness valleys.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Aug 2009

Gokhale Chaitanya S, Iwasa Yoh, Nowak Martin A, Traulsen Arne

Abstract excerpt

How fast does a population evolve from one fitness peak to another? We study the dynamics of evolving, asexually reproducing populations in which a certain number of mutations jointly confer a fitness advantage. We consider the time until a population has evolved from one fitness peak to another one with a higher fitness. The order of mutations can either be fixed or random. If the order of mutations is fixed,...
