On the effect of phenotypic dimensionality on adaptation and optimality.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Dec 2014

Brun-Usan M, Marin-Riera M, Salazar-Ciudad I

Abstract excerpt

What proportion of the traits of individuals has been optimally shaped by natural selection and what has not? Here, we estimate the maximal number of those traits using a mathematical model for natural selection in multitrait organisms. The model represents the most ideal conditions for natural selection: a simple genotype-phenotype map and independent variation between traits. The model is also used to...
