Adaptive Evolution on Neutral Networks
Adaptive Evolution on Neutral Networks is a scholarly work by Claus O. Wilke, published in 2001 in ''Bulletin of Mathematical Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include evolution, statistical physics, biology, population, evolutionary dynamics, fitness, The Evolution of Cooperation, neutral mutation, adaptation, genetic drift, ocular adaptation, Neutral network, fitness landscape, adaptive evolution, evolutionary biology, epidemiological modeling, constant, epoch, and neutral theory of molecular evolution. The authors demonstrate that despite the absence of higher fitness genotypes, adaptation takes place as regions with more advantageous distributions of neutral genotypes are discovered.
