Being positive about selection. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 Detecting positive selection at the molecular level has recently become easier and editors of PLoS Biology face the challenge of identifying standards of excellence in the face of burgeoning interest in this field.

Positive selection on human gamete-recognition genes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Coevolution of genes that encode interacting proteins expressed on the surfaces of sperm and eggs can lead to variation in reproductive compatibility between mates and reproductive isolation between members of different species.

Dynamics of Positive Frequency Dependent Selection Triggers Selection for Silence
Complexity, 2022 Positive frequency dependent selection is a natural selection regime where the fitness of a phenotype increases with its frequency in the population. Examples can be typically found in the spread of disease tolerance strategies in a population.

Pick Your Poison: Molecular Evolution of Venom Proteins in Asilidae (Insecta: Diptera)
Toxins, 2020 Robber flies are an understudied family of venomous, predatory Diptera. With the recent characterization of venom from three asilid species, it is possible, for the first time, to study the molecular evolution of venom genes in this unique lineage.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Convergent evolution between distantly related taxa often mirrors adaptation to similar environments. Rust fungi and anther smuts, which belong to different classes in Pucciniomycotina, have independently evolved a phytoparasitic lifestyle, representing ...

ZRT1 harbors an excess of nonsynonymous polymorphism and shows evidence of balancing selection in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2012 Estimates of the fraction of nucleotide substitutions driven by positive selection vary widely across different species. Accounting for different estimates of positive selection has been difficult, in part because selection on polymorphism within a ...
