Finally, it is important to understand that not all evolution is adaptive. While natural selection selects the fittest individuals and often results in a more fit population overall, other forces of evolution, including genetic drift and gene flow, often do the opposite: introducing deleterious alle...

A kind of evolution that involves evolutionary changes that are adaptive to a particular environment Supplement Evolution refers to the processes and events that take place over time illustrating the gradual progression of changes in the genetic composition of a biological population over successive genera...
Die natürliche Selektion ist ein evolutionärer Prozess, bei dem sich Individuen mitberlebensfördernden Eigenschaften in höheren Raten reproduzieren. Diese günstigen Eigenschaften werden innerhalb einer Population oder einer Art immer häufig
important insights and experimental proof for evolutionary biology. On the forefront of laboratory evolution experiments, the long term study of Professor Lenski and his research group at the Michigan State University has to be mentioned. This single parallelE.coliadaptation experiment is already ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is arguably the most conspicuous feature of bacterial evolution. Evidence for HGT is found in most bacterial genomes. Although HGT can considerably alter bacterial genomes, not all transfer events may be biologically significant and may instead represent the outcome of ...

One important goal of neuroscientists is to eventually understand complex behavioral adaptations of humans and other animals as explained by the structure and function of their brain tissues and principles of evolutionary biology. To this end, the dominant model in evolutionary psychology assumes that co...
