contents In this paper, we consider an individual-based model with power law mutation probability. In this setting, we use the large population limit with a subsequent ``small mutations'' limit to derive the canonical equation of adaptive dynamics. For a one-dimensional trait space this corresponds to well established results and we can formulate a criterion for evolutionary branching in the spirit of Champagnat and Méléard (2011). In higher dimensional trait spaces, we find that the speed at which the solution of the canonical equation moves through space is reduced due to mutations being restricted to the underlying grid on the trait space. However, as opposed to the canonical equation with rare mutations, we can explicitly calculate the path which the dominant trait will take without having to solve the equation itself.
