Experimental Evolution in Tetrahymena [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2022 Experimental evolution has provided novel insight into a wide array of biological processes. Species in the genus Tetrahymena are proving to be a highly useful system for studying a range of questions using experimental evolution. Their unusual genomic architecture, diversity of life history traits, importance as both predator and prey, and amenability

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012 Experimental evolution is the study of evolutionary processes occurring in experimental populations in response to conditions imposed by the experimenter. This research approach is increasingly used to study adaptation, estimate evolutionary parameters, and test diverse evolutionary hypotheses.

, 2009 According to a common wisdom, hypotheses concerning Darwinian evolution cannot be effectively tested by means of rigorous experimental method. The conviction is based on a believe, promulgated by Darwin himself, that evolution acts very slowly, and ...

Evolution of the Experimental Models of Cholangiocarcinoma [PDF]
Cancers, 2020 Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a rare, aggressive disease with poor overall survival. In advanced cases, surgery is often not possible or fails; in addition, there is a lack of effective and specific therapies. Multidisciplinary approaches and advanced technologies have improved the knowledge of CCA molecular pathogenesis, highlighting its extreme ...

Experimental evolution of multicellularity [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012 Multicellularity was one of the most significant innovations in the history of life, but its initial evolution remains poorly understood. Using experimental evolution, we show that key steps in this transition could have occurred quickly. We subjected the unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Experimental Evolution of Interference Competition [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The importance of interference competition, where individuals compete through antagonistic traits such as the production of toxins, has long been recognized by ecologists, yet understanding how these types of interactions evolve remains limited. Toxin production is thought to be beneficial when competing with a competitor.

Heredity, 2008 This chapter reviews experimental evolution. Many of the evolutionary processes extend over long periods of time—long, that is, on human timescales of a few decades. With the resource of a laboratory, we can follow the evolution of large populations over thousands of generations in a few months.

Experimental Evolution of Species Recognition [PDF]
Current Biology, 2015 Sex with another species can be disastrous, especially for organisms that mate only once, like yeast. Courtship signals, including pheromones, often differ between species and can provide a basis for distinguishing between reproductively compatible and incompatible partners.

Evolution of Divergent Female Mating Preference in Response to Experimental Sexual Selection [PDF]
, 2014 Sexual selection is predicted to drive the coevolution of mating signals and preferences (mating traits) within populations, and could play a role in speciation if sexual isolation arises due to mating trait divergence between populations. However, few
