Wondering about #habitability (#PatternsOfSoftware) vs #evolvability. I think they point to the same thing but emphasise different aspects.

Evolutionary biology is paying increasing attention to the mechanisms that enable phenotypic plasticity, evolvability, and extra-genetic inheritance

@sfmatheson @CastellanoED Our critique @rajon of Wagner's view of the asexual / 1-locus case is our model finding that #evolvability is dominated by the quality of the mutational neighborhood, not polymorphic spread across a genotype space academic.oup.com/genetics/arti

@sfmatheson @CastellanoED Yes I was referring to Kirchner & Gerhart. Wagner is more the other extreme, he generally models asexuals and/or 1-locus. We wrote a review piece cataloging how sex and number of genes make a difference to #evolvability arguments. cell.com/trends/genetics/fullt

@CastellanoED An intriguing book that affects my thinking too. Have you read (or know of) The Arrival of the Fittest by Andreas Wagner? To some extent it answers the challenge.
