Balancing sampling and specialization: an adaptationist model of incremental development.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Dec 2011

Frankenhuis Willem E, Panchanathan Karthik

Abstract excerpt

Development is typically a constructive process, in which phenotypes incrementally adapt to local ecologies. Here, we present a novel model in which natural selection shapes developmental systems based on the evolutionary ecology, and these systems adaptively guide phenotypic development. We assume that phenotypic construction is incremental and trades off with sampling cues to the environmental state. We...
