Multiple adaptive substitutions during evolution in novel environments.

Abstract excerpt

We consider an asexual population under strong selection-weak mutation conditions evolving on rugged fitness landscapes with many local fitness peaks. Unlike the previous studies in which the initial fitness of the population is assumed to be high, here we start the adaptation process with a low fitness corresponding to a population in a stressful novel environment. For generic fitness distributions, using an...
