Experimental Evolution: The Rate of Adaptive Evolution
Next-generation sequencing technology allows the identification of molecular changes that have arisen in the genomes of microorganisms undergoing experimental evolution. This permits the elucidation of the molecular evolutionary dynamics in these populations.

15 صفحه اولThe genomic rate of adaptive evolution.
The role of positive darwinian selection in evolution at the molecular level has been keenly debated for many years, with little resolution. However, a recent increase in DNA sequence data and the development of new methods of analysis have finally made this question tractable. Here, I review the current state-of-play of the field. Initial estimates in Drosophila suggest that approximately 50% ...
متن کاملRate of Adaptive Evolution under Blending Inheritance
In a population of size N , adaptive evolution is 2N times faster under Mendelian inheritance than under the 19th-century theory of blending inheritance. Unfortunately we have no means of determining, according to the standard of years, how long a period it takes to modify a species. Charles Darwin [2, p. 270] In the latter half of the 19th century, evolutionary time seemed limited. Victorian s...
متن کاملExperimental evidence for the adaptive evolution of growth rate in the garter snake Thamnophis elegans.
The western terrestrial garter snake (Thamnophis elegans) varies significantly in individual growth rates and life-history traits (maturation, reproduction, and survival) among adjacent populations in nature. This study focuses on assessing the genetic and environmental components of the substantial among-population variation in growth rates. Litters of neonates from nine populations inhabiting...
