A heuristic model of the effects of phenotypic robustness in adaptive evolution.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Dec 2020

Rigato Emanuele, Fusco Giuseppe

Abstract excerpt

A recent theoretical, deterministic model of the effects of phenotypic robustness on adaptive evolutionary dynamics showed that a certain level of phenotypic robustness (critical robustness) is a required condition for adaptation to occur and to be maintained during evolution in most real organismal systems. We built an individual-based heuristic model to verify the soundness of these theoretical results through...
