Eco-evolutionary dynamics, coding structure and the information threshold.

BMC evolutionary biology - 24 Nov 2010

de Boer Folkert K, Hogeweg Paulien

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The amount of information that can be maintained in an evolutionary system of replicators is limited by genome length, the number of errors during replication (mutation rate) and various external factors that influence the selection pressure. To date, this phenomenon, known as the information threshold, has been studied (both genotypically and phenotypically) in a constant environment and with respect...
