A quantitative model of the Simpson-Baldwin Effect.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Jan 1999

Ancel L W

Abstract excerpt

G. G. Simpson was the first to explain the Baldwin Effect completely in terms of the theory of natural selection. A genetic version of a seemingly non-hereditary adaptation may arise when natural selection acts on the likelihood of having an adaptive trait not just on the trait itself. We present...
