Epistasis and adaptation on fitness landscapes
C Bank - Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Epistasis occurs when the effect of a mutation depends on its carrier's genetic background.
Despite increasing evidence that epistasis for fitness is common, its role during evolution is …

The extinction time under mutational meltdown driven by high mutation rates
L Lansch‐Justen, D Cusseddu… - Ecology and …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Mutational meltdown describes an eco‐evolutionary process in which the accumulation of
deleterious mutations causes a fitness decline that eventually leads to the extinction of a …

Population bottleneck has only marginal effect on fitness evolution and its repeatability in dioecious Caenorhabditis elegans
The predictability of evolution is expected to depend on the relative contribution of
deterministic and stochastic processes. This ratio is modulated by effective population size …
