Spatial interactions and cooperation can change the speed of evolution of complex phenotypes.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 22 Jul 2014

Komarova Natalia L

Abstract excerpt

Complex traits arise from the interactions among multiple gene products. In the case where the complex phenotype is separated from the wild type by a fitness valley or a fitness plateau, the generation of a complex phenotype may take a very long evolutionary time. Interestingly, the rate of evolution depends in nontrivial ways on various properties of the underlying stochastic process, such as the spatial...
