A stochastic model of Lenski’s long-term evolutiuon experiment Wakolbinger, Anton

Description

Based on a Cannings-type model that is inspired by the design of the Lenki experiment, we show that very simple assumptions on the mutation-selection mechanism in the adaptive evolution lead to a parabolic form of the long-term relative fitness curve, for which more complicated explanations have previoulsly been given in the literature. This is joint work with Adrian Gonzales Casanova, Noemi Kurt and Linglong Yuan (http://arxiv.org/abs/1505.01751, to appear in SPA).
