Compensatory vs. pseudocompensatory evolution in molecular and developmental interactions.

Genetica - 1 Jan 2007

Haag Eric S

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of molecules, developmental circuits, and new species are all characterized by the accumulation of incompatibilities between ancestors and descendants. When specific interactions between components are necessary at any of these levels, this requires compensatory coevolution. Theoretical treatments of compensatory evolution that only consider the endpoints predict that it should be rare because...
