Evolutionarily stable disequilibrium: endless dynamics of evolution
... Evolution is often conceived as changes in the properties of a population over generations [1–3]. When different forces of evolution are constant in space and time, these properties eventually reach equilibrium, a well-known example being the mutation-selection balance. According to the above notion ...
