We investigate the usefulness of a subtree deactivation control mechanism which is open to
evolutionary learning. It is hypothesised that this representation confers an adaptive
advantage in dynamic environments over the standard sub-tree representation adopted in
Genetic Programming. Results presented on benchmark dynamic problem instances
provides evidence to support that such an adaptive advantage exists.
