Spreadsheet.  This excel spreadsheet allows you to generate predictions from each model and compare those predictions with actual data. Go to README for instructions.

PowerPoint.  This presentation illustrates the behavior of each model with animations.  If you save this presentation and then open it, you will be able to see explanatory notes at the foot of each slide.

Appendix.  This document derives an expression for the curvature of the adaptive landscape in terms of the selection coefficients β and γ.
