Natural selection on floral morphology can be influenced by climate.
Climate has the potential to influence evolution, but how it influences the strength or direction of natural selection is largely unknown. We quantified the strength of selection on four floral traits of the subalpine herb Ipomopsis sp. in 10 years that differed in precipitation, causing extreme temporal variation in the date of snowmelt in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The chosen floral traits...
متن کاملNatural selection on gene expression.
Changes in genetic regulation contribute to adaptations in natural populations and influence susceptibility to human diseases. Despite their potential phenotypic importance, the selective pressures acting on regulatory processes in general and gene expression levels in particular are largely unknown. Studies in model organisms suggest that the expression levels of most genes evolve under stabil...
متن کاملStabilizing selection on behavior and morphology masks positive selection on the signal in a salamander pheromone signaling complex.
Natural selection maintains the integration and coordination of sets of phenotypic characters that collectively perform a task. In functional complexes in which characters span molecular to behavioral levels of organization, we might then expect similar modes of selection to produce similar patterns in evolutionary divergence at each level. To test this expectation, we diagnosed selection at be...
متن کاملHow Altruism Can Prevail Under Natural Selection
Introduction Why have we economists been convinced for so long that our old friend, homo eco-nomicus must be selfish? No doubt we find considerable support for this hypothesis in the behavior of our colleagues. We might also expect that evolutionary pressures tend to produce selfish behavior–with the notable exception of the relation between parents and offspring. But can we expect natural sele...
متن کاملNatural selection
The time-scale of evolution Think of the 3.5 billion years that makes the history of life on earth as stretching for a single year. On the first of January, there is nothing more than primitive bacteria, and this remains the case for the next eight months. Multicellular eukaryotic life appears in early September, vertebrates invade the land at the beginning of December and dinosaurs become exti...
