Adaptation in Stochastic Environments

Adaptation in Stochastic Environments edited by Jin Yoshimura, Colin W. Clark.

The classical theory of natural selection, as developed by Fisher, Haldane, and 'Wright, and their followers, is in a sense a statistical theory. By and large the classical theory assumes that the underlying environment in which evolution transpires is both constant and stable - the theory is i...
