Levels and limits in artificial selection of communities

open access: yesEcology Letters, 2015
International audienceArtificial selection of individuals has been determinant in the elaboration of the Darwinian theory of natural selection. Nowadays, artificial selection of ecosystems has proven its efficiency and could contribute to a theory of ...

Screening and selection of artificial riboswitches

Methods, 2018
Synthetic riboswitches are engineered to regulate gene expression in response to a variety of non-endogenous small molecules, and a challenge to select this engineered response requires robust screening tools. A new synthetic riboswitch can be created by linking an in vitro-selected aptamer library with a randomized expression platform followed by in ...

Darwin’s artificial selection as an experiment

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C: Studies in History and Philosophy of Biological and Biomedical Sciences, 2006
Darwin used artificial selection (ASN) extensively and variedly in his theorizing. Darwin used ASN as an analogy to natural selection; he compared artificial to natural varieties, hereditary variation in nature to that in the breeding farm; and he also compared the overall effectiveness of the two processes.

Artificial Selection

2007
This chapter highlights artificial selection—the deliberate choice of certain individuals to propagate a line. This has been the mechanism for producing all the modern varieties of domestic animals and crop plants. Indeed, the application of evolutionary principles to practical problems has been essential to the great expansion of agricultural ...

Assortative mating and artificial selection

Heredity, 1973
Theory is developed to assess the consequences of assortative mating immediately following truncation selection. Truncation selection is expected to generate negative correlations between homologous genes and between non-homologous genes in the same and different gametes.

Selection of Artificial Lift

SPE Mid-Continent Operations Symposium, 1999
Abstract Selection of the most economical artificial lift method is necessary for the operator to realize the maximum potential from developing any oil or gas field. Historically the methods used to select the method of lift for a particular field have varied broadly across the industry, including Determining what methods ...

Artificial Selection Experiments

Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, 1992
A knowledge of the magnitude of genetic variability and covariability of quantitative traits in natural populations and an understanding of the action of forces that maintain variation and those that lead to change are fundamental to the study of evolutionary biology.

Selection strategies and artificial evolution

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 1989
Artificial selection results in biolgical changes, creating artificial evolution. When using selection indexes, the artificial evolution depends on the relative economic (or other) weight of traits in the breeding objective, and on the phenotypic and genetic variances and covariances among these traits and the traits recorded in the selection index.
