The document discusses how the number of traits under selection can influence evolutionary and coevolutionary processes. It reviews previous frameworks that have studied this question using adaptive dynamics and quantitative genetics approaches. Generally previous work has found that branching is easier and evolutionary/coevolutionary equilibria are less stable when more traits are under selection. The presentation aims to further explore how the dimensionality of trait space impacts evolutionary dynamics.
