Predictable phenotypic, but not karyotypic, evolution of populations with contrasting initial history

Abstract The relative impact of selection, chance and history will determine the predictability of evolution. There is a lack of empirical research on this subject, particularly in sexual organisms. Here we use experimental evolution to test the predictability of evolution. We analyse the real-time...
