Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection, dynamic sufficiency, and the necessity of higher moments.

Abstract excerpt

The "average effects" of alleles in Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection are meant to capture what having an allele does to fitness. These average effects however are generally not constant, because the way they are determined implies that they may depend on the composition of the current population. This can easily be mistaken for dynamic insufficiency. In a recent paper by Smerlak and Youssef...
