Description/Abstract

Biological development is a complex process that mediates between genotypes, to which mutations occur, and phenotypes, on which selection acts. Properties of development can therefore have considerable impact on evolution. However, in many existing simulation models of development, the developmental process itself is difficult to recover and/or analyse. We have previously introduced a model of development in which the developmental process is represented as a cell lineage. Here we use this model to further explore the control of development, and the influence that development has on shaping an adaptive landscape.
