Natural selection in a bottle.

The American naturalist - 1 Jan 2003

Houle David, Rowe Locke

Abstract excerpt

The study of natural selection in laboratory systems undergoing experimental evolution can provide important insights into the relationship between natural selection and adaptation. We studied selection on the norm of reaction of age at first reproduction in a laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster. This population had been selected on a discrete generation schedule in the laboratory for more than 600...
