Capturing the facets of evolvability in a mechanistic framework.

Abstract excerpt

'Evolvability' - the ability to undergo adaptive evolution - is a key concept for understanding and predicting the response of biological systems to environmental change. Evolvability has various facets and is applied in many ways, easily leading to misunderstandings among researchers. To clarify matters, we first categorize the mechanisms and organismal features underlying evolvability into determinants...
