The inheritance of phenotypes: an adaptation to fluctuating environments.

Journal of theoretical biology - 7 Jul 1996

Lachmann M, Jablonka E

Abstract excerpt

We discuss simple models for the evolution of rates of spontaneous and induced heritable phenotypic variations in a periodically fluctuating environment with a cycle length between two and 100 generations. For the simplest case, the optimal spontaneous transition rate between two states is approx...
