Evolutionary dynamics on the star graph

The invasion dynamics of a beneficial mutation typically occurs in three phases: (i) first, rare mutants increase at a slower rate; (ii) once established, mutants quickly take over the majority of the population; (iii) during the last phase it takes a long time until the last remaining resident has been replaced. Extinction of mutants almost always happens in the first phase and the mutant fails to establish itself in the population.

For the simulations, the population size is \(N=498\), the fitness of residents is set to \(1\) and that of mutants to \(2\). Thus, a single mutant has approximately a \(75\%\) chance to take over the population - a significant increase when compared to a \(50\%\) chance in the original Moran process. Typically it takes between \(4'500-6'500\) generations for the mutant to reach fixation.

Game parameters

The list below describes only the few parameters related to the evolutionary dynamics of residents and mutants with fixed fitness (constant selection). Numerous other parameters are available to set population structures or update rules on the player as well as population level.

--fitness <r,m>: fitness of residents r and of mutants m.
