Artificial selection methods from evolutionary computing show promise for directed evolution of microbes [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 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]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Isogroup Selection to Optimize Biocontrol Increases Cannibalism in Omnivorous (Zoophytophagous) Bugs

open access: yesInsects, 2017
Zoophytophagous insects can substitute animals for plant resources when prey is scarce. Many arthropods feed on conspecifics to survive in these conditions.

Analysis of selection signatures in the beef cattle genome

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of selection on the genome structure of beef cattle through identification of selection signatures reflecting the breeding standard of each breed and to discover potential functional genetic variants to improve ...

Investigating the role of genetic variation in vgll3 and six6 in the domestication of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata Linnaeus) and European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax Linnaeus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Gene function conservation is crucial in molecular ecology, especially for key traits like growth and maturation in teleost fish. The vgll3 and six6 genes are known to influence age‐at‐maturity in Atlantic salmon, but their impact on other fish species ...

Artificial and Unconscious Selection in Nietzsche’s Genealogy: Expectorating the Poisoned Pill of the Lamarckian Reading

open access: yesGenealogy, 2019
I examine three kinds of criticism directed at philosophical genealogy. I call these substantive, performative, and semantic. I turn my attention to a particular substantive criticism that one may launch against essay two of On the Genealogy of Morals ...

The effectiveness of artificial microbial community selection: a conceptual framework and a meta-analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The potential for artificial selection at the community level to improve ecosystem functions has received much attention in applied microbiology. However, we do not yet understand what conditions in general allow for successful artificial community ...

Maladaptation in feral and domesticated animals

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2019
Selection regimes and population structures can be powerfully changed by domestication and feralization, and these changes can modulate animal fitness in both captive and natural environments.
