Fixation of slightly beneficial mutations: effects of life history.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Apr 2010

Vindenes Yngvild, Lee Aline Magdalena, Engen Steinar, Saether Bernt-Erik

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies of rates of evolution have revealed large systematic differences among organisms with different life histories, both within and among taxa. Here, we consider how life history may affect the rate of evolution via its influence on the fixation probability of slightly beneficial mutat...
