Classical fitness landscapes with the exponential form and the corresponding fitness and substitution trajectories obtained from Eqs. 1 and 2

*Expressions for the r − and q-functions are derived in the limit x ≫ 1 (HOC, NEPI) and under the approximation N ≫ 1 (HOC, NEPI, STH). These approximations are highly accurate, especially for large x (see Fig. 1). See SI Appendix for details.
