Scaling expectations for the time to establishment of complex adaptations.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Sept 2010

Lynch Michael

Abstract excerpt

Although the vast majority of research in evolutionary biology is focused on adaption, a general theory for the population-genetic mechanisms by which complex adaptations are acquired remains to be developed. The issue explored here is the procurement of novel traits that specifically require mul...
