Experimental evolution with yeast [PDF]
FEMS Yeast Research, 2006 Many of the difficulties of studying evolution in action can be surmounted using populations of microorganisms, such as yeast. A readily manipulated sexual system and an increasingly sophisticated array of molecular and genomic tools uniquely qualify Saccharomyces cerevisiae as an experimental subject.

Mating system variation drives rapid evolution of the female transcriptome in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
, 2014 This research was part funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, Grant Number: NE/I014632/1. The APC was paid through RCUK open access block grant funds.Interactions between the sexes are believed to be a potent source of selection on sex ...

Repeatability and Predictability in Experimental Evolution [PDF]
, 2019 Independent populations often use the same phenotypic and genetic solutions to adapt to a selective challenge, suggesting that evolution is surprisingly repeatable.

In Silico Experimental Evolution Highlights the Influence of Environmental Seasonality on Bacterial Diversification [PDF]
, 2016 International audienceExperimental evolution, where fast replicating organisms are evolved in controlled environments for thousands of generations, has shown that microorganisms are able to evolve at an amazing speed: in virtually all experimental ...

Selection and the direction of phenotypic evolution
eLife, 2023 Predicting adaptive phenotypic evolution depends on invariable selection gradients and on the stability of the genetic covariances between the component traits of the multivariate phenotype.

Relaxed Substrate Specificity in Qβ Replicase through Long-Term In Vitro Evolution
Life, 2021 A change from RNA- to DNA-based genetic systems is hypothesized as a major transition in the evolution of early life forms. One of the possible requirements for this transition is a change in the substrate specificity of the replication enzyme.

Improved use of a public good selects for the evolution of undifferentiated multicellularity
eLife, 2013 We do not know how or why multicellularity evolved. We used the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to ask whether nutrients that must be digested extracellularly select for the evolution of undifferentiated multicellularity.

Experimental Adaptation of Murine Norovirus to Calcium Hydroxide
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) is a commonly used disinfectant for fecal sludge. Although viruses are inactivated by lime treatment, whether RNA viruses adapt to lime treatment has not yet been determined.

Cultural evolution leads to vocal iconicity in an experimental iterated learning task [Elektronisk resurs] [PDF]
, 2021 Experimental and cross-linguistic studies have shown that vocal iconicity is prevalent in words that carry meanings related to size and shape. Although these studies demonstrate the importance of vocal iconicity and reveal the cognitive biases ...

eLife, 2013 Selection favours single-celled mutants that stick together when a sugar needed for growth is in short supply, suggesting that multicellular life may have evolved as a by-product of selection for more efficient usage of resources.
