The standard of neutrality: still flapping in the breeze?

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jul 2010

Proulx S R, Adler F R

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Neutrality plays an important role as a null model in evolutionary biology. Recent theoretical advances suggest that neutrality is not a unitary concept, and we identify three distinct forms of neutrality. Eu-neutrality means that types do not differ in any measurable way and is thus the idealized form of neutrality. However, individuals or species that do differ in important ways can behave neutrally...
