Fitness is defined as the long term growth rate which is influenced by the biotic environment leading to frequency-dependent selection. Evolution can be described as a dynamics in space with variable number of dimensions corresponding to the number of different types present. The dynamics within a subspace is governed by the local fitness gradient. Entering a higher dimensional subspace is possible only at a particular type of attractors where the population undergoes evolutionary branching. date: 1996-07 date_type: published publisher: WP-96-077 iiasapubid: WP-96-077 price: 10 creators_browse_id: 1281 creators_browse_id: 206 creators_browse_id: 1375 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper place_of_pub: IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria pages: 10 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Geritz, S.A.H. , Metz, J.A.J. , Kisdi, E. , & Meszena, G.
