Measuring and comparing evolvability and constraint in multivariate characters
The Lande equation forms the basis for our understanding of the short‐term evolution of
quantitative traits in a multivariate context. It predicts the response to selection as the product …

Evolutionarily unstable fitness maxima and stable fitness minima of continuous traits
We present models of adaptive change in continuous traits for the following situations:(1)
adaptation of a single trait within a single population in which the fitness of a given individual …

Is modularity necessary for evolvability?: Remarks on the relationship between pleiotropy and evolvability
TF Hansen - Biosystems, 2003 - Elsevier
Evolvability is the ability to respond to a selective challenge. This requires the capacity to
produce the right kind of variation for selection to act upon. To understand evolvability we …
