Environmental Noise, Genetic Diversity and the Evolution of Evolvability and Robustness in Model Gene Networks

The ability of organisms to adapt and persist in the face of environmental change is accepted as a fundamental feature of natural systems. More contentious is whether the capacity of organisms to adapt (or “evolvability”) can itself evolve and the mechanisms underlying such responses. Using model ge...
