Fixation probability of a beneficial mutation conferring decreased generation time in changing environments.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: One central building block of population genetics is the fixation probability. It is a probabilistic understanding of the eventual fate of new mutations. Moreover, the fixation probability of new beneficial mutations plays an important effect on the adaptation of populations to environmental challenges. Great progress has been made in the study of the beneficial mutations that increases offspring...
