Domain-specific¶
- Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection
- The modern reformulation via the Price equation, due to George Price and elaborated by Warren Ewens and Sabin Lessard, clarified that the theorem in careful statement is a mathematical identity: it is exactly true, without approximation, as a description of the within-generation change in mean fitness due to the covariance between individual fitness and additive genetic value for fitness

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
