Deconstructing empirical fitness seascapes across scales of granularity.

Abstract excerpt

The fitness landscape metaphor remains resonant in evolutionary theory and has facilitated the birth of newer concepts, like the fitness seascape, that consider the role of environmental context in shaping the dynamics of evolution. Since its emergence, the seascape has appeared in numerous studies examining how different and fluctuating environments shape evolutionary outcomes. Despite growing interest, we lack...
