Variation in the Fitness Effects of Mutations with Population Density and Size in Escherichia coli
The fitness effects of mutations are context specific and depend on both external (e.g., environment) and internal (e.g., cellular stress, genetic background) factors. The influence of population size and density on fitness effects are unknown, despite the central role population size plays in the s...
