Bee competitive: Research reveals the impact of natural selection on nectar supply and demand
natural selection nectar supply and demand seasonal imbalances
2021/8/6
Theoretical research indicates that natural selection will increase existing seasonal imbalances between the supply of nectar from flowers and the demand from bees and other insects.

Lizard blizzard survivors tell story natural selection
2017/9/4
An unusually cold winter in the U.S. in 2014 took a toll on the green anole lizard, a tree-dwelling creature common to the southeastern United States. A new study offers a rare view of natural selecti...

2017/3/14
What matters more for the evolution of plants and animals, precipitation or temperature? Scientists have found a surprising answer: rain and snow may play a more important role than how hot or cold it...
Putting Process and Product Conceptions of Natural Selection and Genetic Drift to the Test

2016/6/15
In the recent philosophical literature, two questions have arisen concerning the status of natural selection: 1) Is it a population-level phenomenon, or is it an organism-level phenomenon? 2) Is it a ...

En la Teoría de la Selección Natural, el concepto de función biológica debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de aptitud; y éste debe suponerse para delimitar el concepto de adaptación y también pa...
From Survivors to Replicators:Evolution by Natural Selection Revisited
Evolution by natural selection Replicator individual-based models Natural selection Diachronic
2016/6/12
For evolution by natural selection to occur it is classically admitted that the three ingredients ofcvariation, difference in fitness and heredity are necessary and sufficient. In this paper, I show u...
How to read “heritability” in the recipe approach to natural selection
heritability recipe approach natural selection
2016/6/12
There are two ways evolution by natural selection (ENS) is conceptualized in the literature. One provides a ‘recipe’ for ENS incorporating three ingredients: variation, differences in fitness and heri...
Broken Mechanisms:Function,Pathology,and Natural Selection

Our aims were to demonstrate that natural selection is operating on contemporary humans, predict future evolutionary change for specific traits with medical significance, and show that for some traits...
Genome-wide polymorphisms show unexpected targets of natural selection

2015/12/11
Natural selection can act on all the expressed genes of an individual, leaving signatures of genetic differeniation or diversity at many loci across the genome. New power to assay these genome-wide ef...
