Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of natural selection is one of the most widely cited theories in evolutionary biology. Yet it has been argued that the standard interpretation of the theorem is very different from what Fisher meant to say. What Fisher really meant can be illustrated by looking in a new way at a recent model for the evolution of clutch size. Why Fisher was misunderstood depends, in part, on the contrasting views of evolution promoted by Fisher and Wright.
Fisher 自然选择基本定理是进化生物学中被引用最广泛的理论之一。然而,有人认为,对该定理的标准解释与 Fisher 的原意大相径庭。通过以新的方式研究最近提出的卵囊大小进化模型,可以说明 Fisher 的原意。Fisher 被误解的部分原因在于 Fisher 和 Wright 所倡导的进化观点截然不同。
