Evolution of mutation rates in rapidly adapting asexual populations

The paper calculates the fixation probability of mutator and antimutator alleles in asexual populations, showing how clonal interference and deleterious mutations influence mutation rate evolution.

The fate of a mutation in a fluctuating environment

This study examines how mutations' fates in fluctuating environments depend on environmental dynamics and selective pressures, finding that temporal variation can reduce selection efficiency and increase fixation probabilities for certain mutations.

The evolutionarily stable distribution of fitness effects

The paper derives the evolutionarily stable distribution of fitness effects (DFE) under a constant environment and shows its dependence on population genetic parameters and epistasis.
