Variance in foraging success can be advantageous for accelerating fitness functions, since individuals can disproportionately capitalize on high foraging success.
Consider a trait and an accelerating fitness function, for which the benefit of deviating from the population mean in the beneficial direction exceeds the cost of deviating in the opposite, detrimental direction.
The two-locus model results suggest that the evolution of population growth can be accelerated when fitness depends on a combination of mutations at different loci with major and minor effects (Figs 4B and 5A).
Our method uses surrogate models to accelerate the fitness evaluation and a novel network generative model based on preferential attachment to generate the seeds for the evolutionary process.
The DTEEP co-processor can significantly improve execution time of an algorithm for a full tree evolutionary induction of the decision tree ensembles (An Evolutionary Ensemble of Full Trees Induction EEFTI) by accelerating the fitness evaluation task.
The EFTIP co-processor can significantly improve the execution time of a novel algorithm for the full decision tree induction using evolutionary approach (EFTI) when used to accelerate the fitness evaluation task.
Molecular evolution was thus active, so it seems feasible that the phage might accelerate its fitness evolution if adapted for longer.
By doing so, he accelerated the machine-oriented fitness boom.
We have shown that an 8-week supervised hospital-based aerobic exercise rehabilitation programme led to a small benefit in physical fitness that accelerated the natural recovery process in the short term.
The authors interpreted the accelerating decline in fitness as the result of an increase in genomic mutation rate for fitness (U), but the decline is consistent with negative epistasis, and some authors have interpreted their results as providing evidence that epistasis is negative (e.g., Dickinson 2008).
High frequency horizontal gene transfer can increase pathogen fitness, accelerate host adaptation, and affect bacterial virulence.
