The Geometry of Evolution : Adaptive Landscapes and Theoretical Morphospaces.
The adaptive landscape concept allows the user to view an organism's evolutionary trajectory through time, as a journey through the landscape driven by natural selection, and genetic morphological and developmental constraints. This book introduces and demonstrates the power of the adaptive lan...
