Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an optimisation principle in evolution.

Abstract excerpt

This paper presents a necessary condition for the existence of a numerical quantity optimised by evolution by natural selection, which also turns out to be a sufficient condition under rather general conditions. As a corollary, a related criterion with a particularly intuitive graphical interpretation in terms of pairwise invadability plots is obtained.
