The fittest versus the flattest: experimental confirmation of the quasispecies effect with subviral pathogens.
The "survival of the fittest" is the paradigm of Darwinian evolution in which the best-adapted replicators are favored by natural selection. However, at high mutation rates, the fittest organisms are not necessarily the fastest replicators but rather are those that show the greatest robust...
