Fluctuating selection: the perpetual renewal of adaptation in variable environments.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 12 Jan 2010

Bell Graham

Abstract excerpt

Darwin insisted that evolutionary change occurs very slowly over long periods of time, and this gradualist view was accepted by his supporters and incorporated into the infinitesimal model of quantitative genetics developed by R. A. Fisher and others. It dominated the first century of evolutionar...
