ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS PAPERS

 

This page contains some references to the development and applications of adaptive dynamics, with a strong bias towards the modelling framework based on stochastic trait substitution sequences that involves evolutionary branching. The list is not exhaustive even in this narrow scope, and I take no responsibility for missing references. Since this page is also intended to help course students, I include a few publications outside the scope of adaptive dynamics that are useful in relation to the population dynamics of invading mutants, the connection to speciation models, etc.

Eshel, I., U. Motro, and E. Sansone. 1997. Continuous stability and evolutionary convergence. J. theor. Biol. 185:333-343.

The first paper gives a self-contained description of the adaptive dynamics framework and an illustrative example for how it can be used. The second paper is a short account specifically tailored for the interest of physicists; the third paper is more mathematical. Eshel et al. reached some of the results independently.

The paper of Dieckmann and Law contains the derivation of the canonical equation of mutation-limited evolution. Towards the end of their paper, Matessi and Di Pasquale give all generic two-dimensional evolutionary singularities (for two independently evolving traits or equivalently for two coevolving strategies) and investigate their absolute convergence. The papers of Leimar deal with strong convergence (convergence of nonindependent traits with any covariance matrix) and absolute convergence, respectively.
