The distribution of fitness effects in an uncertain world.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jun 2015

Connallon Tim, Clark Andrew G

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of fitness effects (DFE) among new mutations plays a critical role in adaptive evolution and the maintenance of genetic variation. Although fitness landscape models predict several key features of the DFE, most theory to date focuses on predictable environmental conditions, while ignoring stochastic environmental fluctuations that feature prominently in the ecology of many organisms. Here, we...
