Katz and Springer (2016) cite this as early theoretical work on changing environments. They report that Levins argued the statistical relations between signals in a fluctuating environment are central to adaptation. They use it to support the point that environmental statistics remain informative for adaptation regardless of the differing costs distinct cell populations or strains bear in each environmental state, such as yeast strains' varying preparation times when switched from glucose to galactose.
