Evolvability a unifying concept in evolutionary biology?
"The present volume represents the outcome of a workshop on Evolvability hosted in 2019 - 2020 by the Center of Advanced Study (CAS) at the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo. This book gathers the efforts of many of the people that were instrumental in the development of the evol...
