Abstract

I discuss the so-called stochastic individual based model of adaptive dynamics and in particular how different scaling limits can be obtained by taking limits of large populations, small mutation rate, and small effect of single mutations together with appropriate time rescaling. In particular, one derives the trait substitution sequence, polymorphic evolution sequence, and the canonical equation of adaptive dynamics. In addition, I show how the escape from an evolutionary stable conditions can occur as a metastable transition. This is a review paper that will appear in "Probabilistic Structures in Evolution", ed. by E. Baake and A. Wakolbinger.
