Abstract
Mathematical models have long played a central role in evolutionary theory, primarily at its interface with population genetics. However, the approach most developed mathematically, that which builds upon one- or two-locus models in constant or random environments, is of limited value for the consideration of the evolution of most ecological characters and relationships.
