Abstract

EVOLVE III, an evolutionary ecosystem simulation program, is used to study the relationship between genetic variation and adaptability of organisms in constant and fluctuating environments. The simulation runs suggest that point mutations increase genetic diversity while gene recombination acts as a stabilizing force for phenotypic variability.
