Sex‐specific heritabilities for length at maturity among Pacific salmonids and their consequences for evolution in response to artificial selection [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Artificial selection, whether intentional or coincidental, is a common result of conservation policies and natural resource management. To reduce unintended consequences of artificial selection, conservation practitioners must understand both artificial ...

Artificial selection methods from evolutionary computing show promise for directed evolution of microbes [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Directed microbial evolution harnesses evolutionary processes in the laboratory to construct microorganisms with enhanced or novel functional traits. Attempting to direct evolutionary processes for applied goals is fundamental to evolutionary computation,

Long-Term Artificial Selection for Increased Larval Body Weight of Hermetia illucens in Industrial Settings [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) farming has exponentially increased in recent years due to the ability of its larvae to efficiently convert low-grade organic materials into high-value food, feed, and technical products.

Artificial ecosystem selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 Artificial selection has been practiced for centuries to shape the properties of individual organisms, providing Darwin with a powerful argument for his theory of natural selection. We show that the properties of whole ecosystems can also be shaped by artificial selection procedures.

Structural color in Junonia butterflies evolves by tuning scale lamina thickness
eLife, 2020 In diverse organisms, nanostructures that coherently scatter light create structural color, but how such structures are built remains mysterious. We investigate the evolution and genetic regulation of butterfly scale laminae, which are simple photonic ...

Natural Variation in OsMKK3 Contributes to Grain Size and Chalkiness in Rice
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is an important staple food crop for more than half of the world’s population. Enhancing the grain quality and yield of rice to meet growing demand remains a major challenge.
