Given this understanding of neutrality, a theory that allows wild particulars cannot be counted as a neutral theory.
A second key prediction of the nearly neutral theory is abundance of low-frequency polymorphisms as compared with strict neutrality.
In the late 1960s, the geneticist Motoo Kimura proposed the neutral theory of molecular evolution.
For the first statement of the neutral theory, see Kimura, M. 1968.
Kimura's development of the neutral theory was enormously influential, and prompted a flurry of work investigating whether most genetic variation is irrelevant.
The neutral theory of evolution is the antithesis of ecological genetics.
In the context of neutral theory, the change could be approximated with a diffusion process.
Here we show how to embed the neutral theory within the Darwinian framework.
Those willing to embrace a "thicker," less neutral theory of the human good can substitute an outcome metric like capabilities.
The neutral theory considered that genetic variations were accumulation of neutral mutation, and were removed by genetic drift (Kimura, 1968).
In this report, I incorporate local speciation into neutral theory of biodiversity to predict species abundance distribution patterns.
