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
