Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Fitness Landscape. A 3-dimensional representation of a fitness landscape; used to describe the multiplicity of adaptive trajectories available to a species. These trajectories may lead to points of lower fitness, represented as a valley, or higher points of fitness, represented as a mountain, while neutral regions manifest as plateaus. While a clone would occupy a single point within the fitness landscape, a species is aclonal. Although best thought of in an additional dimension, for simplicity we have depicted a species (blue dots) as multiple clonal types surrounding the modal subpopulation (circled in red). Adaptation arises when the modal subpopulation moves to a new position within the landscape although intraspecific genetic variation would enable tethered migrations from the modal genotype. |
