What is evolution? How does natural selection affect the frequency of traits in a population?EvolutionEvolution happens overtime when a species changes or give rise to new and advanced species after many generations. This occurs when the various traits required for survival a...
How does the adaptive trait camouflage evolve (e.g. mutation, genetic drift, migration, and/or natural selection)? How can humans still evolve when there is no natural selection pressure? How does natural selection lead to the creation of new species? How does b...
In light of these findings, it is commonly assumed that traditional natural selection operates to the extent that it can, and that originally neutral mutations account for anything that selection does not account for. But this modern approach leads to a deep inconsistency. The original idea of na...
Humans require multiple natural resources for their wellbeing and assign different portions of their efforts to secure resources due to their limited time and energy. When one resource is scarce, it may be replaced with a substitute which may fully or partially cover the shortage. However, existin...
How does epistasis affect the response to directional selection in the opposite case of a very large population? Now, the initial variance components are not directly relevant, because very rare alleles, which initially make hardly any contribution to the variance components, can increase to ...
Our study clearly shows that weightings assigned to biodiversity indicators when selecting forest reserves may strongly affect the age composition of the selected areas. It is therefore important to use a reserve selection model that can consider different weightings. It is also important that the mo...
The datasets analysed during the current study are not publicly available due to the Swedish Act (SFS 2003:460) on ethical review of research involving humans, which does not permit sensitive data on humans to be freely shared. Parts of the datasets are available after ethical permission and af...
Much like domesticated animals, which we breed to specifically favor certain traits, humans are influenced by a sort of unnatural selection. However, we're still evolving. Some humans have more reproductive success than others, and the factors that affect that equation have added a layer of ...
How is natural selection and genetics intertwined? How are natural selection and genetics intertwined? What are some genes that are linked in humans? How does this impact genetic diversity? How does environmental selection affect phenotypes?
Natural Selection:Natural selection is the process whereby traits that are beneficial for the survival for the animal are selected for. These traits are passed down to the offsprings. Traits that are not beneficial will not pass down as effectively. For example a brown spider can outlive a ...
