Adaptive Dynamics Theory
Overview Illustrations Publications
 
Overview
A fundamental difficulty challenges the understanding and prediction of evolutionary change in realistic ecological settings. On the one hand, closer linkages between ecological and evolutionary research invariably reveal the ubiquity of frequency-dependent selection pressures on almost all life-history traits of interest. Such frequency dependence occurs whenever selection pressures depend on the phenotypic composition of a population, which is the rule in natural systems. On the other hand, the bulk of life-history theory is still based on simplified optimization approaches, which are applicable only if selection is frequency-independent.

More background information
.

The development of adaptive dynamics theory is driven by the necessity of resolving this mismatch. Sacrificing genetic for ecological detail, adaptive dynamics models are derived for asexual, mutation-limited evolution, and have been shown to yield results that are robust to the relaxation of these formal assumptions under a wide range of circumstances. Through its research on adaptive dynamics theory IIASA’s EEP Program serves as a hub in the corresponding international scientific community.

Over the next few years, the Program will strengthen the integration of alternative modeling approaches within evolutionary ecology and will devise methodological extensions to further facilitate practical application.

Pairwise invasibility plots and the eightfold classification of evolutionarily singular points.
The adaptive dynamics invasion function of a particular ecological system defines a pairwise invasibility plot for resident and mutant phenotypes. When the invasion function is positive for a particular pair of phenotypes, the resident may be replaced by the invading mutant. Intersections of the invasion function's zero contour line with the 45-degree line indicate potential evolutionary end-points.
The slope of the contour line near the singular point determines the answers to the following questions.
(1) Is a singular phenotype immune to invasions by neighboring phenotypes?
(2) When starting from neighboring phenotypes, do successful invaders lie closer to the singular one?
(3) Is the singular phenotype capable of invading into all its neighboring types?
(4) If a pair of neighboring phenotypes lie either side of a singular phenotype, can they invade into each other?

Evolutionary branching. When near a singular point two neighbouring phenotypes can invade each other, the resulting dimorphism will contract over evolutionary time only if the singular point is uninvadable; otherwise it will expand. Near singular points that monomorphically attract and dimorphically repel, the evolutionary trajectory will branch.
   The figure at right shows repeated instances of such branching events in a simulated evolutionary trajectory.
