• Robustness and Evolvability (2010, background): “Despite Wright’s original drawing, the word “landscape” has been criticized for conjuring an image of a low-dimensional continuous space rather than a high-dimensional discrete space [84–86].”
• The Concept of Morphospaces in Evolutionary and Developmental Biology: Mathematics and Metaphors (2009, background): “But there are a number of problems and confusions associated with fitness landscapes, which we do not want to reiterate here (see, e.g., Gavrilets 2004; Kaplan 2008; Pigliucci 2008).”
