• Evolutionary Game Theory and Adaptive Dynamics of Continuous Traits (2007, background): “Leimar (2001) refers to this change in evolutionary outcome resulting from the sequence of mutations as a Darwinian demon, but in practice the conditions in which this can happen may be quite unlikely (Leimar 2005).”
• Multidimensional convergence stability (2009, background): “On the contrary, unless fitness interactions are absent or have a very special form, an adaptive escape from any small neighbourhood of the point will be possible, although the sequence of mutations generating such invasions must have unlikely properties (Leimar, 2001).”
