Evolution of discrete populations and the canonical diffusion of adaptive dynamics

Evolution of discrete populations and the canonical diffusion of adaptive dynamics

The biological theory of adaptive dynamics proposes a description of the long-term evolution of a structured asexual population. It is based on the assumptions of large population, rare mutations and small mutation steps, that lead to a deterministic ODE describing the evolution of the dominant type, called the "canonical equation …
