Evolution in a flat fitness landscape
Abstract
A simple model of a population of asexually reproducing individuals, evolving in a flat fitness landscape, is defined. It is shown that the model is equivalent to a dynamical system with stochastic dynamics, the Annealed Random Map Model. Thus, it is possible to solve exactly for the genealogy statistics and for the genetic variability of the population. Fluctuations of quantities, like the average relatedness and the variability, which also take place in the limit of an infinitely large population, are computed.
