Predicting the evolution of sex on complex fitness landscapes.

PLoS computational biology - 1 Sept 2009

Misevic Dusan, Kouyos Roger D, Bonhoeffer Sebastian

Abstract excerpt

Most population genetic theories on the evolution of sex or recombination are based on fairly restrictive assumptions about the nature of the underlying fitness landscapes. Here we use computer simulations to study the evolution of sex on fitness landscapes with different degrees of complexity and epistasis. We evaluate predictors of the evolution of sex, which are derived from the conditions established in the...
