Here we first define robustness and review experimental ways to detect it. We then discuss the proximate mechanisms underlying robustness. Finally, we discuss evolutionary causes and consequences of ...
- the characteristic of being strong enough to withstand intellectual challenge Example - " the lack of robustness in the findings may be due to the small size of the sample" ...
The 'robustness' of a phenotypic trait is the absence or low level of variation when faced with a given incoming variation. Analysis of the propagation of variation in a biological system has been ...
