A mathematical approach to interactions between genotypes and phenotypes in a multilocus multiallele population is developed. No a priori information on a fitness function is required. In particular, some structural definitions of epistasis and the position effect are given in terms of a decompositi

โฆ Synopsis
A general concept of phenotypical structure over a genotypical structure is developed. The direct decompositions of multilocus phenotypical structures are considered. Some aspects of phenotypical heredity are described in terms of graph theory. The acyclic phenotypical structures are introduced and studied on this base. The evolutionary equations are adjusted to the phenotypical selection. It is proved that if a phenotypical structure is acyclic then the set of fixed points of the corresponding evolutionary operator is finite except for a proper algebraic subset of the operator space. Some applications of this theorem are given.

## Abstract Recently we proposed a model in which when a scientist writes a manuscript, he picks up several random papers, cites them, and also copies a fraction of their references. The model was stimulated by our finding that a majority of scientific citations are copied from the lists of referen
Species selection, differential rates of speciation or extinction resulting from species level characters, is often invoked as the main mechanism of macroevolution that is not simply an extension of microevolutionary processes. So long as we are careful in defining "species", the logic of species se
