Quantifying the Extent and Intensity of Adaptive Evolution

Abstract

Evolvability is the capacity to create new adaptations, and especially new kinds of adaptations, through the evolutionary process. Evolvability is important both as a theoretical issue in biology and as a practical issue in evolutionary computation. But it is difficult to study evolvability, in part because it is difficult to..
