In this work the question of whether the introduction of both transcription errors and cultural transmission, in the form of learning by imitation, can enable the evolution of behaviours inaccessible to incremental genetic evolution alone is assessed...

Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size (2011)
Book Chapter
Channon. (2011). Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size. In ECAL 2011 (117 -124)

Populations of individuals exist in a wide range of sizes, from billions of microorganisms to fewer than ten individuals in some critically endangered species. In any evolutionary system, there is significant evolutionary pressure to evolve sequences... Read More about Critical mutation rate has an exponential dependence on population size.
