Cleaner fishes and shrimp diversity and a re-evaluation of cleaning symbioses (2017, background): “The mechanisms involving costs and benefits of cleaning symbiosis are not yet fully understood (Cheney & Côté, 2003; Cushman & Beattie, 1991; Orr, 2009; Poulin & Vickery, 1995), and recent evidence suggests these costs and benefits extend beyond the traditionally defined symbiotic interaction to sec”
The Contemporary Evolution of Fitness (2018, background): “…by disassociating alleles at different loci that work well together through positive epistatic interactions (Charlesworth & Barton 1996, Barton & Partridge 2000, Otto & Lenormand 2002, Becks & Agrawal 2011) or by simply decreasing the “precision” of adaptation (Hansen et al. 2006) (Figure 1, ).”
Quasispecies Theory and the Behavior of RNA Viruses (2010, background): “Conceptually, fitness refers to how well a given organism ‘‘fits’’ into its environment, often reflected in how well it survives and reproduces [19].”
Identifying Necessary Conditions for Open-Ended Evolution through the Artificial Life World of Chromaria (2014, background): “Of course, ﬁtness is indeed an important concept in natural evolution (Orr, 2009), but it can be viewed as an emergent byproduct of the MC in nature (i.e. to construct a copy of oneself) that changes over time rather than an explicit a priori constraint imposed from outside.”
Quantifying and understanding the fitness effects of protein mutations: Laboratory versus nature (2016, background): “However, despite an unambiguous mathematical definition, fitness is not a simplistic parameter, particularly in natural populations.(6) Selection can act equally strongly, sometimes even stronger, on survival rather than growth (e.”
Adaptive parental effects: the importance of estimating environmental predictability and offspring fitness appropriately (2014, background): “…different evolutionary interpretations of absolute versus relative fitness (Lechowicz and Bell 1991, Kelley et al. 2005, Stanton and Thiede 2005, Orr 2009), but studies on parental effects usually draw inferences from only the absolute fitness benefits of a particular parental effect (cf.…”
