The Tempo and Mode of Adaptation in a Complex Natural Population: the Microbiome

Adaptation is a fundamental process by which populations evolve to grow more fit in their environments. Recent studies are starting to show us that commensal microbes can evolve on short timescales of days and months, suggesting that ecological changes are not the only means by which microbes in co...

Sumario:Adaptation is a fundamental process by which populations evolve to grow more fit in their environments. Recent studies are starting to show us that commensal microbes can evolve on short timescales of days and months, suggesting that ecological changes are not the only means by which microbes in complex natural populations respond to selection pressures.
