Frontiers of Fitness Landscapes: A Summary of Open Questions

  • Chapter
Recent Advances in the Theory and Application of Fitness Landscapes

Part of the book series: Emergence, Complexity and Computation ((ECC,volume 6))

Abstract

In this chapter we briefly look at possible future issues in fitness landscape research. We discuss challenges to a fitness landscape approach that result from recent experimental and theoretical findings about the information transfer in biological systems. In addition, we set out opportunities these results may open up and speculate about directions that landscape research may take. We summarize the discussion by laying out eight open questions.
