Abstract excerpt
Estimation of fitness is a key step in experimental evolution studies. However, no established methods currently exist to specifically estimate how successful new alleles are in invading populations. The main reason is that most assays do not accurately reflect the randomness associated with the first stages of the invasion, when invaders are rare and extinctions are frequent. In this protocol, I describe how...
