Abstract excerpt
We study the invasion dynamics of a mutant population characterized by an increased phenotypic variability with respect to the incumbent population, with an emphasis on the effects of increased phenotypic robustness and fluctuations induced by small system size. This model is based on recent experimental and theoretical results which hint at the possibility that inactivation of certain genes, either by the effect...
